My flow doesn´t work this way. I use always the same css (various) for all my eBooks. I have defined one presentation model with specifc styles I always use. If I discover a need for another class, I include it in my master css. This didn't happen for a while now. But I am sure your way of doing things works fine for you. Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît. |

So do you only use class selectors in your stylesheet, and no id selectors? |

As for the stylesheet, you use classes and not ids. |

This is the ePub forum. It won't work in ADE. So what I said is correct for ePub. In fact, if you try it with ADE, ADE will take it as an error and none of the CSS will be applied.

Secondly, it does work in ADE, and is according to spec. |

I was mistaken. It does work in ADE. I had a typo in the CSS that caused it not to work. User error. But to be honest, I don't actually see the use for defining an ID in CSS instead of a class.

I would surmise that "those who create the specs" wanted to keep things ordered and logical when they defined a group style vs. an individual style. In practice things don't always get used as intended, hence we have deprecated styles and tags. I think it's just a matter of technique. I have used the tag selectors to change the way a particular item class is styled...if the change is minor, or if i need to do it to achieve specific functionality. For example to not take up space on a page, but to get sigil to put it in the TOC. h2[title="Copyright Page"] {display:none; margin:0} <h2 title="Copyright Page"></h2> Last edited by Turtle91; 06-04-2013 at 03:38 AM. |

Have a look at my Tom Sawyer ePub, the chapter title illustrations have a code to wrap the text around them, and since every image is a different size, the code needs to be different. Of course, I could have created a class for each image, but creating a class for something that will never ever have more than one member is as wrong as creating a different id for things that are no different at all So, in general I agree, classes are to be preferred, but ids have their uses too. |
