Re: Line spacing for the text

It is not very clear what you mean. If you refer to the distance between lines, then you should match the paragraphs and the task steps and just use the line-height CSS property: *[class~="topic/p"], *[class~="task/step"]{ line-height: 50px; } If you still need help with CSS prop...

Re: TOC: font changes - list of figures

I tried using *[class ~= "placeholder/figurelist"] *[class ~= "listentry/entry"] { font-family: Calibri; color: orange; } in a customization CSS but still do not see any difference. So it must be another selector that matches your figurelist entries in your customization. For deb...

Re: for empty page layout

Going further, we do not provide consultancy or customization services, but there are two ways I can think of at this time to add text in the middle of that page: - either create an image (preferably SVG, as ...

Re: TOC: font changes - list of figures

Hello, This is most probably something that has to do with your own customization (I noticed you also have orange color for the figurelist entries, so most probably you are using your own cutom CSS, or a publishing template). I double checked and there is no issue with the figurelist's font. Please ...

Re: Adding Additional Info in Footer

Hi santhudev123,

It is pretty difficult to mind the structure of your source files.
For example, it is not clear how and where you store strings like "3EHW 411401".

Also, we need more details on the "format-numbering()" function. Is it a custom one?

Hi Julie, By design, we decided that each chapter should start a new page sequence, so we've added a custom property (an oXygen extension) for that. You could overwrite this behavior by using in your customization CSS: *[class ~= "topic/topic"][is-chapter] { -oxy-page-group:auto; } Regardi...

Hello,

Have you followed Dan's instructions?

So you need to match the figcaption element, with the class figcap:

Code: Select all

.figcap {
font-style : italic ;
font-size : 1em ;
}
If you use specifically this rule in your customization CSS, it is not possible to receive that error message.
