CSS Subtab

The CSS subtab contains the CSS files that Oxygen XML Editor uses to render a document in the Author mode. In this subtab, you can set main and alternate CSS files. When you are editing a document in the Author mode, you can switch between these CSS files from the Styles drop-down menu on the Author Styles toolbar.

To open the CSS subtab, open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences), go to Document Type Association, use the New, Edit, Duplicate, or Extend button, click on the Author tab, and then the CSS subtab.

The following actions are available in the CSS subtab:

New: Opens a dialog box that allows you to add a CSS file. You can specify the path by using the text field, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing tools in the Browse drop-down list.
Edit: Opens a dialog box that allows you to edit the current selection.
Delete: Deletes the currently selected CSS file.
Move Up: Moves the selected CSS file up in the list.
Move Down: Moves the selected CSS file down in the list.
Enable multiple selection of alternate CSSs: Allows users to apply multiple alternate styles, as layers, over the main CSS style. This option is enabled by default for DITA document types.
ignore CSSs from the associated document type: The CSS files set in the CSS tab are overwritten by the CSS files specified in the document itself.
merge them with CSSs from the associated document type: The CSS files set in the CSS tab are merged with the CSS files specified in the document itself.
