The least cumbersome way to handle blocks that require special styles
would be to add the styles to nimas.cfg and make a special
semantic-actions file for the document with lines such as
newStyle p,id,01
Then when you call translateFile use a configSettings string like
semanticFiles thisdoc.sem
This will have the effect of including thisdoc.sem at the end of
nimas.sem
