Style your Wiki page
Styling the wiki with CSS is a bit quirky because we are writing a mix of Wiki Markup (also called 'Wiki text') and inline-CSS.
- to style your wiki page, open it with the source editor
- this is also a great way to find out how other people applied styles to their wiki pages (just be careful to not make any changes if you inspect other Users pages)
- why use / what is Inline CSS?
- some tips and tricks
- most things that you want to style, you can just wrap in a
<div></div>HTML element and then apply some styling to the element itself. This will style whatever is contained inside it. - Some elements need a little extra care, such as headlines. The above mentioned
<div></div>will not work. Instead they want to be wrapped in a<span>like this:
==<span style="color:red;">Style your Wiki page</span>==
You can see that I used the Wiki Markup syntax to define a header (==) and added some inline styling to the span element.
