[Xerte] xhtml

oh.
I thought we were working in standalone.
In standalone you have to add the styleSheet property to the LO and then give it the path value.

I'm guessing the XOT version template is defaulted to Styles.css.

The only difference I can see is that my stylesheet isn’t called
style.css (but I presume this makes no difference?...if it does I’ll sulk in
the corner).

I remoted into the server just to check the css file is in the
media dir – it is.

You’re doing something wrong, as your example works for me – see
attached.

Do you have FileLocation + ‘styles.css’ on the LO icon? Can’t
really see what else it could be.

Hi Dave

Adding a space after the
colon doesn’t make any difference. Just to check I copied the example css from
the wiki:

link

{

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

size: 12px;

color: #00DDFF;

}

and then linked this to my LO
using the icon property on the root learning object page

on an introduction page tried
using <link>this is some styled text</link>

publish/view = no style

L

any other suggestions?

Think
you need that space after the colon.

Also, this helps:

display: inline;

Otherwise if tags are nested you get a line break.

Paul discovered that one.

OK, so I’ve created a CSS
file with

niceText 

{

font-family:
Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

color:#009999;

font-size:40px;

}

Located it using the Learning
Object icon resource.

In a text area I coded:

bla bla bla
<niceText>testing the style</niceText> bla bla bla

published and viewed but the
style hasn’t changed. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

(I tried #niceText in css and
lowercase variations to no avail – I also tried a
la xhtml syntax but that didn’t work either).

You
can also create your own tags in the stylesheet.

Check the archives for the discussion recently.

There
is. Its in the helpfile:

You can
format text with html
tags. The HTML tags supported are
<a>, , <li> 
. You can also specify a style sheet for the learning
object on the Learning Object icon's properties.

Is
there any documentation outlining what xhtml tags Xerte will understand? It
seems to work with some tags (e.g. <li>) but not others.

Thanks
