Meaning of value for class property
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 8:40 pm
I think I may have been unclear in my last posting. I have a quite simple question, I think. What is the meaning of the value for the "class" property in the properties panel?Hi,
I am working with DITA, and I want to be able to control the layout of my webpages page using div tags, and float properties, etc. Two questions:
I noticed that the elements in topics have a class (in the properties panel of Oxygen) of -topic/p, or -topic/[whatever the tag].
I noticed that when I view the HTML source files of the sample IT-Book project (after the project is built), <div> tags surround all groups of <p> tags in the body, but I cannot find where this is specified in the CSS -- I noticed the HTML had a reference to commonltr.css. I'd like to convert the body content into a specific page layout using stylesheets. How to I get control of the <body> elements so I can style them?
Thanks,
Allan
I am working with DITA templates -- concepts, tasks, references. I noticed that when I click on an element in the XML, for example the <body> element within a concept topic, the value for the class property in the properties panel displays a corresponding value of "-topic/body", and the same with other tags: <shortdesc> produces "-topic/shortdesc".
What do these values refer to?
Thanks,
Allan
