The CSS Editor – Style Sheet Editor


The CSS editor enables these functions to be used without knowledge of the so-called style sheet commands. With the help of the CSS editor, you have an extensive arsenal of design options for elements such as tables, paragraphs, images, etc. at your disposal. Formatting such as colors, fonts, frames, spacing, background, etc. can be easily set and checked live in the preview.

In the upper part of the CSS window you will find the class selection. Already created classes (classes of the layout style.css file) can be assigned here. The tags found (upwards, for example P – TD – TR – TABLE) are displayed under HTML tag. The settings for the properties can be set under the tabs. To set an option, the option must always be activated first.

In the lower part there is a preview window for checking the properties and a selection for the element types. The element types are used to better display the preview, for example the button for an image image .
