5.3 Hand-crafting the CSS file

The style sheet that WebMaker creates is a reflection of the formatting specified in the FrameMaker document. You might decide that you want the HTML document to have a different appearance than the FrameMaker document. You might want to use different fonts, different sizes, different colors, or add a background color that was not in the FrameMaker document.

You can edit the style sheet created by WebMaker in an ordinary text editor. You will need to become familiar with the rules and syntax of CSS.

It is important to remember that whenever you convert the FrameMaker document using the Style Sheet option, WebMaker will recreate the .css file. Thus, if you have edited that .css file, you must copy it to another filename before converting the FrameMaker document, and then copy your .css file back to the filename that WebMaker expects.
