Adding Style Sheets – Information Mapping Help Center

Summary

FS Pro 2013 contains a couple of standard style sheets that are used when publishing FS Pro Word documents to an HTML Web page or XML file to define the structure and look and feel of the output. Additional style sheets can be added as needed.

What is a style sheet?

A style sheet is a file containing formatting commands that control the format, or look, of a Web page. FS Pro uses a style sheet to publish a Mapped document to a Web page.

Types of Style Sheets

The table below indicates when to use the different types of style sheets that are currently found in, and can be added to, FS Pro.

Type of Style Sheet	When to Use
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)	An XSL style sheet is used to publish an FS Pro Word document to a HTML Web page or XML file.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)	A CSS style sheet is used in addition to an XSL style sheet when publishing an FS Pro Word document to an HTML Web page file to further define the look and feel of the Web page for output on a computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

Tip: The standard style sheets in FS Pro generate responsive web pages, i.e. the web page automatically adapt to different screen sizes, repositioning certain elements for optimized legibility and accessibility.

What is affected

An FS Pro style sheet does not affect the layout of the Word document it is attached to. It only affects the layout of the Web page that results from the publish action.
