Freeway Reference: Styling Text

174

Overriding the page style

An overall body text style applied to your page can be a real time-saver as you work. It means that

you don’t have to apply the style to each box as you draw them. Sometimes, however, you might

need to use a different style in a box, such as a pull quote or navigation box.

In this example, we duplicated the original .MainBody style, renamed it, and edited the attributes

so the font color is white. The style has been applied to the blue HTML box. If the .MainBody style

was edited at a later date, perhaps to change the font size or paragraph spacing, the blue box style

would not be affected.

Power Tip: An alternative—and powerful—method of providing a “base” style which affects

your whole web site design is to customize the predeﬁned

<p>

style. Edit the style using the Edit

Styles

dialog box to add font, size, color, paragraph attributes, etc. When you draw an HTML item

anywhere in your design it will automatically assume the settings of the default

<p>

tag.

Learning more

As you can see from this brief outline, Freeway Pro allows some complex styles to be built and used in your designs. The purpose of this

section was to give a quick glimpse of some of the powerful ways CSS can be harnessed in Freeway. CSS is a much larger subject than we

can comfortably cover in this Reference, so here are some web sites which will allow you to learn more.

Styles Inspector

FW Pro only

With Freeway Pro’s ability to apply text styles to pages and items, as well as to text, it can be a little overwhelming when trying to work

out which style has been applied to what and where. The Styles Inspector gives an easy-to-follow hierarchical overview of where CSS

styles have been applied in your design.

The Styles Inspector is a panel that appears in the Inspector palette. Depending on what is currently selected, it gives a hierarchical

list of page elements, and styles that have been applied to those elements. To describe the Styles Inspector’s functionality, we have

shown the Styles & Colors palette alongside the Inspector palette, together with items on a page.

Note: See also What are Styles? on page 153, and Working with Styles on page 167.

Note: Freeway Express does not support the saving of custom styles. The Styles

Inspector

is a Freeway Pro feature only.

Anatomy of the Styles Inspector

The Styles Inspector button.

Applied styles are shown in a

standard order, showing

Page,

Item (or Table and Cell) and

Text in a ﬁxed hierarchy. Clicking

a style name will open the

Edit

Styles

dialog.

The

button removes the

style. The button shows a

popup menu (see below).

When clicked, the

button shows

a menu with options to create a new

style, or choose an existing one. Only

styles that can be applied to the

particular item are shown. In this case,

only paragraph styles can be applied to

the item “clearbox”.

Disclosure triangles can

be set to show or hide the

styles for each element.
