+# Style Parameter Enhancement for ensureBlankLines\* Functions
+
+## Summary
+
+Successfully exposed the `style` parameter for both [`ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables()`](src/core/Document.ts:3775) and [`ensureBlankLinesAfterOtherTables()`](src/core/Document.ts:3903) functions, allowing users to configure the paragraph style for blank lines added after tables.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Updated Function Signatures
+
+Both functions now accept an optional `style` parameter in their options:
+
+```typescript
+ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables(options?: {
+  spacingAfter?: number;
+  markAsPreserved?: boolean;
+  style?: string;  // NEW
+  filter?: (table: Table, index: number) => boolean;
+})
+
+ensureBlankLinesAfterOtherTables(options?: {
+  spacingAfter?: number;
+  markAsPreserved?: boolean;
+  style?: string;  // NEW
+  filter?: (table: Table, index: number) => boolean;
+})
+```
+
+### 2. Default Behavior
+
+- **Default style**: `'Normal'` (maintains backward compatibility)
+- All existing code continues to work without modification
+- Style parameter is completely optional
+
+### 3. Implementation Details
+
+Updated both functions to:
+
+- Extract the `style` parameter from options with default of `'Normal'`
+- Apply the specified style to all newly created blank paragraphs
+- Use `blankPara.setStyle(style)` instead of hardcoded `blankPara.setStyle("Normal")`
+
+#### Lines Changed in [`src/core/Document.ts`](src/core/Document.ts):
+
+- Line 3738: Added `style` parameter to options interface
+- Line 3787: Extract style with default value
+- Line 3833, 3844: Apply configurable style to blank paragraphs
+- Line 3873: Added `style` parameter to options interface
+- Line 3915: Extract style with default value
+- Line 3961, 3972: Apply configurable style to blank paragraphs
+
+### 4. Documentation Updates
+
+Enhanced JSDoc documentation for both functions with new examples:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Custom style for blank paragraphs
+doc.ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables({
+  style: "BodyText", // Use BodyText instead of Normal
+  spacingAfter: 120,
+});
+
+// Example: Different styles for different table types
+doc.ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables({ style: "Normal" });
+doc.ensureBlankLinesAfterOtherTables({ style: "BodyText" });
+```
+
+### 5. Example File Updates
+
+Updated [`examples/ensure-blank-lines-after-tables.ts`](examples/ensure-blank-lines-after-tables.ts) with:
+
+- Example 1: Basic usage with explicit style parameter
+- Example 2: Header 2 tables with custom style
+- Example 3: Multi-cell tables with custom style
+- Example 4: Different styles for different table types
+
+### 6. Test Coverage
+
+Created [`src/__tests__/ensure-blank-lines-style.test.ts`](src/__tests__/ensure-blank-lines-style.test.ts) with comprehensive tests:
+
+- Default style behavior (Normal)
+- Custom style application
+- Combined style and spacing configuration
+- 1x1 vs multi-cell table distinction
+- Backward compatibility verification
+
+## Backward Compatibility ✓
+
+**FULLY BACKWARD COMPATIBLE**
+
+- Style parameter is optional with sensible default (`'Normal'`)
+- All existing code continues to work without changes
+- No breaking changes to API surface
+- Behavior only changes when explicitly configured
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage (Unchanged)
+
+```typescript
+// Works exactly as before - uses Normal style
+const result = doc.ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables();
+```
+
+### Custom Style
+
+```typescript
+// Use custom style for blank lines
+const result = doc.ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables({
+  style: "BodyText",
+  spacingAfter: 120,
+});
+```
+
+### Different Styles Per Table Type
+
+```typescript
+// Normal for 1x1 tables (Header 2)
+doc.ensureBlankLinesAfter1x1Tables({
+  style: "Normal",
+  spacingAfter: 120,
+});
+
+// BodyText for multi-cell tables
+doc.ensureBlankLinesAfterOtherTables({
+  style: "BodyText",
+  spacingAfter: 180,
+});
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Flexibility**: Users can now match blank line styles to their document's style system
+2. **Consistency**: Allows maintaining consistent styling conventions across document types
+3. **No Breaking Changes**: All existing code continues to work
+4. **Clear API**: Simple, intuitive parameter naming
+5. **Well-Documented**: Comprehensive examples in code and documentation
