Author view -- change element styling

[bds]

Hi all --

I'm trying to alter the way Author displays an <unclear> element. The default is a light gray italics that is difficult to see.

I don't see an obvious place to make a change under Options > Preferences > Editor > Edit modes > Author.... Is this a place where I need to edit a CSS file? If so, I'm not finding the correct file. I'm working with TEI P4 (I know it needs to be upgraded ), oXygen 13.2, Mac OS X.

Code: Select all

$ pwd

/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/tei

$ ls

resources          tei.jar            tei2xml.dtd        teip4.framework    teip5.framework    teip5odd.framework templates          xml

Code: Select all

$ find */ -name '*.css'

I tried editing the teip4/stylesheet/tei.css, but the changes didn't seem to take after restarting oXygen. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Hi Bridger,

The CSS file used for rendering TEI P4 content is [Oxygen-folder]/frameworks/tei/xml/tei/css/tei_oxygen.css. The style for <unclear/> element is declared in tei.css (this CSS is imported in tei_oxygen.css):

Code: Select all

unclear {

  display: inline;

  color: silver;

  background-color: inherit;

  font-style: italic;

}

To change the style for <unclear/> element you should add your modifications in tei_oxygen.css.

Best Regards,
Mihaela
