Step 2: apply CSS to the content
After editing the CSS file(s), make sure that the CSS rules actually apply to one or more
elements in the template.
CSS rules for HTML elements, such as paragraphs, are automatically applied to all elements
with the corresponding HTML tag.
To make a CSS rule for a certain class or ID work for an element in your document, you have to
add the class or ID to that HTML element.
Note
Classes may be reused throughout one section, but a specific ID should not be used more than once
in each section. CSS layout rules for an element with a certain ID only apply to the first element
with that ID in each section. If you have two sections inside of a Print context, then you can have
the same ID on two sections; t hey will both be affected by the CSS rules for the element with that
ID.
Adding a class or ID to an HTML element
1. Select the element (see "Selecting an element" on page411).
2.
On the Attributes pane, type the ID and/or class. Type the ID without the preceding #
and class names without a dot.
Note
Note: Elements can have multiple classes. Separate the class names with a space
(eg. “red small”).
Alternatively, after selecting an element, you can click the Source tab at the bottom of the
workspace. The selected element will be highlighted in the source. Add the class or classes
and/or the ID to the opening tag of the HTML element, for example: <p class=”intro”>.
