You can use a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to apply your corporate style to Paligo's HTML and HTML5 outputs. A CSS is a list of instructions that tell the browser how to style the HTML elements on the page. For example, it can tell a browser to display headings in blue and to use a sans-serif font for body text.
You do not style the Paligo XML that you see in the Paligo editor and you do not need to map its elements to HTML either. Paligo handles that automatically, see What Happens during Publish?
The layout that you use to publish also has settings that affect your published HTML, see Layouts. You can make your preview use your custom layout, see Set Preview Layouts.
Example of a CSS stylesheet
To write your custom CSS, you will need:
-
A Third-Party code editor or text editor that is capable of saving as
.css. You will use it to Create a CSS File. -
At least basic CSS knowledge. If your organization has web designers, you may be able to leave the CSS customization to them, as they will already have good CSS knowledge. To learn about CSS, this CSS Tutorial covers the basics and has links to more resources.
-
An understanding of Browser Inspection Tool. This is a feature of most modern browsers that lets you see the underlying HTML and also test CSS changes.
