  • Style sheets are documents that contain one or more styles that are used to format text and other elements in web pages. In order to use a style, the style sheet containing that style must be assigned to the document.
  • A style sheet can be assigned to a document in two ways: through manual assignment or through inheritance from the document's parent.
  • A style sheet can be assigned only to modules, sections, topics, and web pages. You can manually assign a style sheet while working in the Library, Outline Editor, Web Page Editor, or Topic Editor using the Style Sheet property on the Properties
  • toolpane
  • Tip:
  • Warning!
  • Style sheets can be assigned through
  • property inheritance
  • Any new web page that you create from the Concept pane of the Outline Editor inherits the style sheet of its parent. Likewise, if you assign a style sheet to a topic, any new web pages that you create while working in the Topic Editor, for example, as new frame attachments, inherit the topic's style sheet setting. However, new documents that are not linked (documents that are created using the File, New command), and existing documents that you link, do not inherit any property settings.
  • If a style sheet is no longer appropriate for a document, you can change or remove the assigned style sheet using the Properties toolpane. Changing or removing the style sheet assigned to a parent does not automatically change the style sheet for any child documents, even those that inherited their style sheet from the parent. You must change the style sheet for each child document manually.
