Maintaining styles and look
Permalink
Hi Concrete5 Gurus.
After much huffing and puffing (well not that bad) I finally have a C5 template operational.
A few questions:
1) I added an editable area (just for text) with some copy and pasted code from the theme video.
It worked very well except all my painstaking leading was doubled up. I have an <ul> with a points of expertise list.
For each point I added an editable area within the <li> tags. It worked well but the line height has doubled between the points.
Each editable block seems very fat and that seems to be reflected in the double spaced lines. The line height is specd in the .css.
2) I have created all my own html and css for this site. I'm not using any C5 templates at all for this job. Do I still need main.css? View.php? Home.php? Full.php etc?.
Won't each new page I create become its own template?
3) In the rich text editor there was a pulldown that said styles but nothing was there.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Nige

For your response.
Yes the editable area within the tags works pretty well apart from the blown out line-height.
I guess you could do it within any tag.
Im looking at something called customising a blocks appearaance.
I presume the "block" is the defined editable area with the red dottedline.
I have two. 1 between and <h3> tag the other between the <li> tags.
The one between the <li> tags is way fatter than the <h3> and translates into double spacing when you view the page.
The line-height is specd the same in the css for both tags.
Im sure the answer is in the css or this customising block thing.

In the rich text editor box se the format to div.
It shrinks the red dotted line box back to the size of the div speccd in the css I guess.
Anyway the line height is as I specced it.
Cool. Thanks

2) at least one page type per theme is needed:
default.php; typography.css for tinymce presentation
do you mean type when you create a page?
3) guess there would be styles if you apply some to tinymce (did not use this feature so far)
