Hello!
I have a script hosted on my websever which kind of misfunctions due to a part of my CSS.
It's a PHP based comment script called Hashover v2.0. It is not able to display text as bold and italics when using formatting. It's able to display other formatting like underline. It happens when using Markdown as well as the other mode of formatting. When I contacted the developer, he found that that there was a problem with my CSS file that was preventing the bold and italics to be formatted. I removed the troublesome part and the formatting was working fine.
The problem is, now, every time I publish my website, I have to edit that part of the CSS and I am currently in a developing mode and thus, I've to make and publish frequent changes. So, is there anything I can do to prevent Muse from chaging that part of CSS every time?
The discussion with the developer goes here: https://www.github.com/jacobwb/hashover-next/issues/229
How about creating a 2nd external CSS file on the server with your corrected code and adding a link below your Muse generated CSS. If it's below the Muse code, it will load last and take priority over that which came before it.

Hey Hrishikesh,
Unfortunately there isn't a way you can keep the changes forever as you will be exporting your site again and again as HTML and then making the changes.
My best suggestion would to be use two versions of the HTML of your .muse site.
the one in which you have made changes for CSS, and other which you have just recently exported.
Later you only have to copy and paste the modified code into your recent file.
This s obviously not a solution, but I am sure will help you in reducing the pain a little.
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer. That's something close to what I'm doing now. I just thought that there might be some better way.

If I add the link below the Muse generate CSS file, won't I have to do it everytime I export the site as the file will be overwritten and thus, the link will be lost.

Not if it's an external file on your server that Muse doesn't generate.

I'm sorry, but, I haven't got your point completely yet.
I understood that I have to make another CSS file with the correct code and upload it to my server. I didn't understand the link placing part. Where exactly do I have to place the link?
What I have understood by now is that, I have to place the link to the new CSS file in the original one generated by Muse, and which according to me will be overwritten every time Muse will publish the new code.
Can you please, clarify this a bit? It'd be of great help!

Add an HTML object and type
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/mycss.css">
From the file menu, select Add Files for Upload and choose mycss.css.
It is important to include it with 'assets/' since the files for upload are in that folder.

Oh! Now I see what you meant! That works as expected! Thanks a lot!!

I'm coming to the party late but if you place the css in the HTML for <head> section of the page properties, either on the page where the code is installed or on the master page, it will take precedence over the Muse-generated CSS. If you want to make certain, you can use the !important keyword in the declarations.

Another way of doing it, thanks for letting us know!

another way to skin the cat is to add a graphic style class to any Muse object... name it
then add your custom code to (just) that style by calling its name in the head matadata tag
not something most Muse users will ever need but we may as well post the full set of options for ref
