l A rule for the text color of table cells with a certain class, for example .green {
color: green; }.
l A rule for the text color of a table cell with a certain ID, for example: #greentext {
color: green; }.
l An inline style rule (local formatting) added to the HTML tag of a particular table cell, for
example: <td style="color: green;">...</td>.
Each of these rules is more specific than the previous rules. All of these rules are more specific
than the rule that applies to the table as a whole.
Note
When !important is added to a style rule (e.g. color: red !important;), this rule
overrides any other style rules, even inline style rules.
Styling text and paragraphs
There are numerous ways to format text in a template. You can apply a certain font, make text
bold, transform it to uppercase, center it, color it, etc.
This topic explains how to apply local formatting to text. It is recommended though, to format
text using style sheets; see "Styling and formatting" on page645 and "Styling templates with
CSS files" on page646.
Tip
With the Copy fit feature, text can automatically be scaled to the available space in a Box or Div.
See "Copy Fit" on page660.
Formatting text and paragraphs locally
An intuitive way of formatting text locally is by using the toolbar buttons: select some text, or an
element that contains text (see: "Selecting an element" on page550) and click one of the
toolbar buttons to make it bold, center it, create a numbered or bulleted list, etc.
