Add rule above a paragraph [style]

Freeway

Hi,

I’d like to add a rule above a paragraph and add it to the style sheet.

I’ guessing it needs to be added to the Extended, but don’t know how?

Best wishes Peter

Hi Peter,

Try this;

  1. Choose Edit/ Styles

  2. Select or create your chosen style for the text

  3. Click the extended button

  4. Click the New… button

  5. In the fields enter
    Name: border-top
    Value: 1px solid #666666

  6. Click the OK button

  7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 with the following values;
    Name: padding-top
    Value: 10px

Now when you apply this style to your text and preview you should see
a 1 pixel grey line above the body of text. Adjust the colour in step
5 for your chosen hex colour and the offset between the text and the
rule in step 7.
Regards,
Tim.

Many thanks Tim exactly what I needed. Although I tightened-up the padding and made some other changes too: http://oxmug.org ;~}}

Sorry to be dumb, but I guess is a good list of these type of text options available on the web somewhere?

Hi Peter,
The W3C have their box model spec page - Box model

  • that outlines some of the more common styling you would want to
    add such ad padding and borders. It’s a little dry but will get you
    started on the styling options.
    Regards,
    Tim.

How would you get the rule to be just the length of the text rather than the whole para width?
