CSS Styling:

To style the content XStandard determines the active stylesheet and applies this to the content. If you want to use specific styles within the editor you need to add them to the styles.xml file that is part of

this distribution. The following styles are used by default:

Bold =

Italic =

Underline =

Subscript =

Superscript =

Abbreviation =

Acronym =

Citation =

Computer Code =

Definition =

Keyboard =

Example =

Code Variable =

Left justified =  

Right justified =  

Centered =  

Fully justified =  

If you want to make use of all of these you need to add this to your

template CSS file:

div.left {

text-align: left;

}

div.center {

text-align: center;

}

div.right {

text-align: right;

}

span.underline {

text-decoration: underline;

}
