Question

HTML magically appears in compiled project

I’ve been removing a batch of HTML code to remedy a color problem, but I have three topics that, even without this troublesome code, the color problem exists. When I click on the topic to View Source, I see the batch of HTML code responsible … yet it does not appear in the HTML when I am working on the project … how does it get there, and how do I remove it?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Lon

    “When I click on the topic to View Source, I see the batch of HTML code” - I think you’re referring to looking at the output HTML, right?

    1. Is there a Topic Layout linked to the topic or output?
    2. You say When I click on the topic to View Source, I see the batch of HTML code responsible … yet it does not appear in the HTML when I am working on the project.
      I’m not following. You say in View Source you see the code responsible but then say it does not appear in the HTML View Source is the HTML.
    3. Is there and in topic stylesheet in the header section?
