How can I display topic font background color (h1, h2, etc.) styles in output?

[roryj86911642]

I have set up my topic headers (Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc.) to include a background color as well as font color, but when I generate my HTML Preset the styles are not displayed. My skin is Azure Blue. I have set up my heading styles as per screen capture on left below. But when I my generate my preset those heading styles are not included. Please help.

Heading styles in topics	Output does not display heading styles

Check the CSS that the output is using - are they defined correctly in it?

Hi Jeff,

I don't see where you assign CSS in output?? I checked my output HTML preset (General, Content, Layout, Search, and Publish) and there is no place to assign a style sheet.

Below is screen capture my default CSS describing h1 heading.

So open up default.css outside of RH and see how h1 is being defined.

I thought the ability to apply an overriding CSS was in the presets but certainly it is not with Update 5 applied. Do you have a master page applied to your topics and does that have the required CSS applied to it?

Peter, I found what I was looking for on the Topic tab of my Master Page and applied my default style sheet and it worked!

Thank you again.

By the way, I think it would be a good idea to add an overriding CSS in the HTML5 presets.

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

It used to be - it seems to have disappeared in this version of RH.

It is now done through the use of Master Pages.

When creating a master page you can apply a CSS style sheet to it. When you generate

an output, the hierarchy will be:

• Where topics have master pages applied but no master page is defined in the preset, the CSS of the master page(s) set in the topics will apply. If there are topics without a master page defined, they will display using their own CSS.
• Where a master page is defined in a preset, that will override the CSS of both the topics and the master page(s) applied to them.
