Rule After HTML text as in Quark for instance

I’ve probably missed something really basic here in my usual style, but presumably it is possible to format HTML text to place a rule under with offset after a Return?

Hiya kryten
yes you can
for example if you have an H1 style which you have applied to a line of text with other text underneath then you could add these extra bits to the H1 style via styles edit.

 border-bottom:1px dotted #9a9a9a
 padding-bottom:10px
 margin-bottom:10px

then this would add a grey dotted border below your text thats was 10px away from your text and it in turn would push the text underneath it by 10px too.

Cheers Max. Marvelous! Under Extended presuambly…is the part before the colon the Name and the bit after the Value?

yes thats it

So it would be…
border-bottom in the Name area and then the 1px dotted #9a9a9a in the Value area.
You don’t need to put in the colon because its automatically put in, then repeat for the padding and margin

Presumably you can’t adjust the dotted line thickness to say a nice fine 1px?

You can. Either use the integrated notation:

border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;

or if you have set a border and want to modify its weight only:

border-bottom-size: 1px;

I know I’m going to appear dense now (no change there then), but what does the #ddd, #ccc and #9a9a9a signify?

Those are HTML/CSS color codes. They are the RGB values, expressed as
hexadecimal numbers (RRGGBB). A two-digit hexadecimal number (00
through FF) can represent any value from 0 to 255. When you see six
digits, that’s the full-format expression. When you see three digits,
that’s a short-form, which means that both digits of each color value
are the same. #ccc is the same as #cccccc – both mean light gray.

Photoshop will show these numbers for you in the Color Picker dialog
(bottom-left text field, after the # sign). Freeway will as well:
hover over any color in the palette and a tooltip will appear with the
correct code.

You can also dowload a nifty add-on to the OS X system-wide colour
picker that will add this funcionality from here:
