    XSLT automatic Formatting

    Hi There,

    I have a chunck of XSLT that I am using to display a field. I want it to be formatted in a certain font size no matter what the user input as a font size through the style menu. Can this be done through the XSLT?

    My code looks like this:

    <xsl:if test="$product/data [@alias = 'textdisclaimers'] != ''">
            <div class="smaller" style="font-size:smaller">    <xsl:value-of select="$product/data [@alias = 'textdisclaimers']" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></div>
    </xsl:if>

    Hi Vincent

    I think the above is a bit of a bad approach since the naming is non-semantic and you're using inline styles.

    I think I would create at div with a more meaninfull name like "disclaimer" and then set the font-size in an external stylesheet. If neccesary use !important to ensure that the choosable styles from the RTE will not override the font-size.

    Hope these pointers helps :-)

    Hi Vincent,

    I'm with Jan on this, but I've also seen what clients are capable of :-)

    Too ensure that you can override the styles, use an id on the wrapping div, and use !important to overrule, e.g.:

    /* CSS */
#disclaimer { font-size: WHATEVER; }
#disclaimer * { font-size: 1em !important; color: inherit !important; }
    <!-- XSLT -->
<xsl:if test="$product/data[@alias = 'textdisclaimers']">
    <div id="disclaimer">
        <xsl:value-of select="$product/data[@alias = 'textdisclaimers']" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
    </div>
</xsl:if>
