[Using Sakai] Sakai CSS

[Adam Marshall]

Marshall

I just found this from April 2008 - I think it should allow you to do
indentation. I haven't actually tested it but I figured it's been in the
wiki tool for a year so it must be available by now.

==================================

Ian Boston: 

I have just added a style macro to wiki and a updated the block macro

{style:href=http://www.caret.cam.ac.uk/test.css|media=print}

or

{style}
.redclass {
color: red;
}
{style}

and

{block:class=|style=color: red; display: inline; padding : 20px}

sdfsdfsd

{block}
results in

<div style="color: red; display: inline; padding : 20px" > sdfsdfsd </div>


However some of the css styles are restrictive so you may not see what you
want happening.

| I actually meant to ask about CSS in my original post. Documentation

| some of the wiki macros, such as block, mentions CSS selectors, but how
| does one access the CSS for a site?
