Styles recommendations

I’m experimenting with Template Styles in 010 Editor (the <style=…> syntax), and I’m curious how other template authors are using them in practice.

What I’m trying to understand is how people actually apply these styles when writing real‑world binary templates.

Specifically, I’d love to hear:

  • How do you decide which style groups to use (Heading vs Section vs Data vs Marker)?
  • Do you follow a consistent hierarchy (e.g., Heading1 for file‑level metadata, Heading2 for substructures, Section styles for repeated blocks, etc.)?
  • How do you use the “Accent” variants - only for key fields, or more broadly?
  • Do you use sData/sDataAccent for all non‑struct fields, or only for certain categories?
  • Any pitfalls or anti‑patterns you’ve discovered when overusing or misusing styles?
