Scaling the section background
The rule below downscales the section background image and keeps it in the centre of the
page:
.page_mediabox img.ol_pdf_datamapper_input {
transform: translate(-50%, -50%) scale(1.5, 1.5) !important;
}
View selectors
In the Designer, sections can be viewed on different tabs: Source, Design, Preview and - if it is
a Web section - Live. In each view mode (except Source) a specific CSS class is added to the
<html> element. The view-specific classes are:
l .DESIGN
l .PREVIEW
l .OUTPUT
.OUTPUTis used when viewing the current section on the Live tab or in an external browser,
and when generating output.
View selectors allow you to apply formatting to elements in a certain view, for example to
highlight or show elements. The Designer itself does this, for example, to highlight all boxes in
the Design view, when the Show Edges icon is clicked.
Adding an outline
The following style rule wraps every element that has the class address-block with a purple
dashed outline in Design mode. The outline is not visible in other views or when outputting the
document.
.DESIGN .address-block {
outline: 1px dashed purple;
}
Adding a background pattern
The Postcard template wizard (in the Basic Print templates group) uses the .DESIGN class to
mark areas that are reserved for postal use and should not contain text or images. These areas
were added to the Master Page as absolute positioned boxes that have been given the class
