Quote from: fnkdumplin1 at Jan 17, 2012, 08:16 PM- Can I describe the selectors in the style drop-down (e.g. Content link style=contentLink)? I read something about that in older versions of TinyMCE but can't get it to work.
Best to forget all that and style everything in your stylesheet. I would suggest reading up and searching everything about CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). You want the editor to look at your stylesheet to determine the styles, the editor should have no command of styles that aren't pre-coded in the .css file your site is using. Sometimes there's more than one stylesheet, so if you need everything in the editor you'll have to combine all those stylesheets into one that the editor is looking at (the path you set in the manager).
- I noticed that the style function adds a <span class="class"> tag when applying a style. Is there any way to use the Select function to define an element style, like <h1 class="class">?
Again, turn to your search engine (google it) for the definition of the span tag. The list is meant to style text within an element or provide quick access to a defined style from your stylesheet. Most often a span is used within a <p> where you want specific text to display differently than the surrounding text. Such as within a paragraph, you will style some text as bold but not all of the paragraph or sentence. Standard tags that aren't defined in the stylesheet is what this list is actually intended for.
[li]Finally, what's the relationship between the URL path and the comma separated list of selectors? Either way, it seems you have to define the path.[/li]
If you use the comma separated list, it's in
addition to your defined styles in the .css file. Once again, turn to your search engine and look into html tags.
Some (many) tags are always going to produce a certain result in all browsers. WC3 documentation lists all these tags. These standard tags do not need to be styled in the stylesheet as long as the doctype is defined in the <head> of your document. Typing in a comma separated list simply allows you to wrap your text with these styles in the editor (quickly). The visitor's browser renders the styles for you. Relation between the path of the stylesheet and the comma separated list is... rather nothing actually unless you bother to type in every style you defined in the stylesheet. Using the url setting however, will pull all your styles in under the style selector for you (thus, no need to type them all in by hand).
Clear as mud? Ha, sorry. You don't even want to know how long it took me to understand all this all by myself, but after a while it becomes clear. Hang in there.
