You might not be able to do it with just HTL, since you cannot call methods which accepts some arguments in HTL. So, you will probably have to switch to a Sling model or a use js to get the intended style object.

Hi, The method getsubstyle(String relativePath) you are referring to requires an argument, relativePath; otherwise, it won't work. As explained by @h_kataria, you cannot invoke methods with parameters via HTL. The recommended approach is to use a Sling Model, where you can do something like this: @Model(adaptables = Resource.class)public class MyModel {    @ScriptVariable    private Style currentStyle;    @PostConstruct    protected void init() {       // Get the substyle       Style subStyle = currentStyle.getSubStyle("/header");       // TODO: Get the properties from substyle or expose it directly to HTL    } Hope this helps
