a hexadecimal color code (HTML Hex Color), an RGB color value, for example rgb
(216,255,170) or a CMYK color value, for example cmyk(15%, 0%, 33%,
0%). Equivalent to the CSS border-color property.
Includes dialog
The Includes dialog defines which style sheets and JavaScript files should be applied to a
section when generating output (see: "Styling templates with CSS files" on page718 and
"Using JavaScript" on page544).
To open this dialog and make settings for one section, right-click the section on the Resources
pane and select Includes.
To do this for all Web sections at the same time, right-click the Web context on the Resources
pane, or select Context > Includes on the main menu. (This menu option is only available
when a Web section is being edited in the Workspace.)
Email clients do not read CSS files and some even remove a <style> tag when it is present in
the email's header. Nevertheless, CSS files can be used with the Email context in the
Designer. When generating output from the Email context, the Designer processes all CSS
rules that apply to the content of the email to inline style properties, as if local formatting was
applied.
1.
From the File types dropdown, select Stylesheets, JavaScripts or all.
2. The list at the left displays the style sheets and/or JavaScript files that are present in the
template's resources. The list at the right shows the style sheets and or JavaScript files
that will be included in the output of the current section (or in all Web sections, if you are
making settings for the Web context). Use the Include and Exclude buttons to move files
from one list to the other.
3. Files are included in the order shown. To change this order, click one of the included files
and use the Up or Down button.
Note
The styles in each following style sheet add up to the styles found in previously
read style sheets. When style sheets have a conflicting rule for the same element,
class or ID, the last style sheet ‘wins’ and overrides the rule found in the previous
style sheet.
