Associating a Regular Stylesheet With a Target

When you want to use styles in your content, the stylesheet needs to be made available for the content in question. In Central, you can associate a stylesheet at the target level, which means that the stylesheet will automatically be applied to all topics and micro content that are included in that target. (In Flare, you also have the option of associating a regular stylesheet at the file or project level.)

Note To learn more about setting a stylesheet at the project level and inheritance, see the Flare online Help.

Permission Required?

Editing content and project files is an activity available to users with the Author status. By default, users with Author status have the following permissions set:

  • If this is deselected, then viewing files in a read-only mode is allowed. On the left side of the page, the Files vertical three-dot menu is not available.

  • If this is deselected, the XHTML in the Code view is read-only.

    Editing code is regarded as a capability for an advanced user. If not done properly, the code can become malformed quickly. Administrators can prevent users from editing the code by deselecting the Edit Code permission.

For more information about permissions, see Setting User Permissions or Setting Team Permissions.
