your stylesheet, you can create styles the FCKEditor uses. It creates an
addition toolbar item which allows you to assign styles to different items.
There are rules to follow to name your .xml: mystyle.css has to have
mystyle.css_style.xml. I haven't confirmed that you can't just create an
arbitrary .xml file, but it seems based on the following problem I saw that you
might.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=049102617-17032006>I got the impression from the help file that by
shadowing a .css file with defined class names with a .xml file, you were
allowing FCKEditor to assign class names and use the appropriate style class
defined in your stylesheet. This turns out not to be true, I think, unless I did
something wrong or missed a step. I copied the sample XML file, used the naming
convention, updated the style settings in the XML to match those in the .css
file, and found that FCKEditor had the functionality to apply the styles from
the toolbar. However, in reviewing the source code of a published file, I see
that the style was applied statically using a style attribute of the tag
with values like "font-weight: bold" copied from the XML, rather than
a simplme class attribute like <span class="myBold"> referring to
the definition in the .css file. This seems to mean that my .css file
is useless; I can't change a class definition in a .css file and have that
change appear throughout the site because local instances of the XML style
definitions are used instead. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=483462201-16032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been setting up
templates in my 6.2 beta install to test the end-user experience. I imported
stylesheets to the /resources directory of my module and linked to them from the
template using the <cms:link> tag inside an HTML <link> tag per the
documentation. The published page uses the stylesheets. However, in the editor,
I have not found a way to use the classes defined in the stylesheets except to
edit source and add class attributes by hand. Is there a way to enable the
WYSIWYG editor to know about the styles available and allow the user to set
styles to highlight portions of the HTML being edited? This seems very important
to me if I'm to enforce a style guide site-wide.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
