21.1.2.3.8 r

This element specifies the presence of a run of text within the containing text body. The run element is the lowest level text separation mechanism within a text body. A text run can contain text run properties associated with the run. If no properties are listed then properties specified in the defRPr element are used.

[Example: Consider the case where the user would like to describe a text body that contains two runs of text and would like one to be bold and the other not. The following DrawingML would specify such a text body.

<p:txBody>
  …
  <a:r>
    <a:rPr b="1">
    </a:rPr>
    <a:t>Some text</a:t>
  </a:r>
  …
  <a:r>
    <a:rPr/>
    <a:t>Some text</a:t>
  </a:r>
</p:txBody>

The above text body has the first run be formatted bold and the second normally. end example]
