Each separate style is specified through the use of a "style" element. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

id	Id – Specifies the unique id of the style. This id is used in all references to the style.
border	(Optional) Id – Identifies the border to used in conjunction with this style. All portals may have a border drawn around them, and the border is controlled via the style. You can specify the unique id of the border to use or "none" to indicate no border. Default: "none"
