Table Of Contents
l HTML elements inside other HTML elements. For instance, a rule for all paragraphs
inside a div element has the selector: div p.
l Etcetera. See http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp for more CSS
selectors and combinations of CSS selectors.
5. Select the layout options that should apply to selected elements; see "Styling and
formatting" on page238. Note: where a width can be set as a percentage, it is a
percentage of the space between the left and right margin.
6.
Click the Apply button to see how a setting affects any elements that are subject to the
selector. (You may have to move and resize the Stylesheet dialog before opening the Edit
Rule dialog, in order to be able to see the template that you are working on.) If all is well,
click OK.
7. In the Stylesheets dialog, click the selector that you chose. All CSS rules for that selector
will become visible in a box below the list of selectors.
Editing plain CSS
l
Click the button Advanced in any property sheet to open a CSS property editor. Type
CSS properties at the left and values at the right.
l
In the Resources pane at the left, double-click the global stylesheet or the stylesheet for
the relevant context. The file opens in the workspace in the middle.
A list of all CSS properties and their possible values can be found here:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/.
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.
l CSS rules for HTML elements, such as paragraphs, are automatically applied to all
elements with the corresponding HTML tag.
l 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 (as described below).
