I'm using FM 2015 Publish to Responsive HTML5. I want to override the output styles with my own CSS file. However, FM generates extra CSS styles that I don't want.
In Publish Settings, where it says "Manage CSS:" I select "Import" and import my CSS file.
After import, my styles are loaded correctly. I can click on the Edit Style button and inspect the values:
However, when I go ahead and publish the output, the resulting FM-generated CSS files contains a lot of extra stuff that interferes with the CSS styles I imported. Here is a snippet of the output CSS file:
/* FM creates this (I think from the styles in my FM document). I don't want this in the output at all. */
p.FM_SubTitle { Direction:ltr;
margin-left: 0.000pt; margin-right: 0.000pt; text-align: right; text-indent: 0.000pt; margin-top: 17.000pt; margin-bottom: 8.000pt; word-spacing: 0.250em; font-family: 'Myriad Pro'; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14.0pt; color: #000000; background-color: none; text-decoration: none ; letter-spacing: 0.00em;
}
/* This is the CSS from the file I imported. I want this to
completely override the normal stuff that FM Publish creates. */
p.FM_SubTitle {
font-size: 160%; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica"; color: #509DE6; margin: 2em 1em; text-indent: 0pt; text-align: left;
}
So my main question - Is there a way to stop FM from using ANY of the document's formatting and only use the CSS styles I imported?
Even if I don't import CSS and use the "Edit Style" GUI in the Publish Settings, FM still generates extra style output that seems to come from the document.
One of the big problems this causes is that I have to specify a bunch of CSS attributes even if I don't use them in order to compensate for the stuff that FM is generating.
A last resort is to just over-write the resulting CSS file in the generated HTML5 output. However, I need to also generate HTML Help, and as far as I know, there is no way to replace the CSS before the help compiler runs (when using the Publish to HTML Help feature).
Thanks.
