[oXygen-user] syntax for CSS @import

[Radu Coravu]

Dear Mario,

You should use the usual URL syntax like:
@import "file:///d:/styles.css";

To see this is working, in the "styles.css" you can add a rule like:
*{
    color:green;
}

If this is not working in your case, maybe the CSS selector does not 
match for some reason the XML nodes.
If this is the case maybe you can give us more details like the 
framework you are using (Docbook, DITA, TEI, etc) and some of the 
content of the "styles.css".

To reference a network shared folder the path would be something like 
(where C25 is the computer's network name):
file:////C25/Shared%20Folder/styles.css

Regards,
Radu
