Hi Kristen,
When you edit a framework configuration in the "Document Type
Association" preferences page in the "CSS" tab and you add an additional
CSS you have three settings there:
1) Configure a reference to the CSS.
2) Set a title for the CSS
3) Set it as "Alternate" or not.
If you do not set a title for it, the CSS will be contributed by default
to all the existing styled. So if as an example I create a CSS like this:
> * {
> color:red;
> }
and I refer to it as an additional CSS, without a title, when I open any
DITA topic I will have red foreground. And the "Styles" drop down will
not contain the possibility to uncheck this.
If you set the title for the referenced CSS, it will start to appear in
the "Styles" drop-down.
You now have the option to specify it as "Alternate" or not.
If you do not specify it as "Alternate", it will be considered as a main
CSS, so selecting it in the "Styles" drop down will use only the styles
specified in it.
If you specify it as "Alternate", checking it in the "Styles" drop-down
will use it in addition to all other CSSs checked there.
For example an alternate CSS in DITA that we use by default is this one:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\css\edit\alternate-full-width-layout.css
When checked in the "Styles" drop-down it provides only two CSS
selectors which are merged with all the other DITA selectors given by
the main non-alternate CSS.
