Change style of TOC?

Hey everyone. I'm creating an epub from scratch to load onto an iPad and view with iBooks. Is there anyway to style the .ncx document (or maybe some other method) so that the default iBooks TOC isn't that black, blocky text? Specifically, can you use a different font, change the font color, or add a third level of indent? I haven't found any way to control that so far, and wondered if it is off limits.
Thanks!

Try clicking the TOC section on the left of your screen, in the same area where you add the book title and intro media etc.
I think you can format the text box alignment here.

Pages Tables Doesn't recognize styles for TOC within table.

It seems to me that the answer is to either tables to get the info OUT of the table (i.e. make several large tables into smaller ones and then pull the titles out of the table and change style), or get Pages to recognize style within table. Any ideas how to do either?! Thanksx

Only text in the Text Layer of a Word Processing Template is processed for TOC entries. No amount of manipulating the tables will change this basic behavior.

Change Style in task description

Hi All,
     I am using a decision step in my workflow. I want to change the default font style associated with the task. The default is Form: System and the default paragraph is '*'.
     I want to use custom style for formatting the task description. The Menu option Change style in Change editor is not allowing me to select the zstyle i have created.
    I will appreciate if anyone can provide me a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Manikandan Ramamoorthy.
Note: All supportive answers will be rewarded

Hi Barry,
I also checked, and we are not having any options to choose the particular style.
Hope its a limitation we have in workflow.
Because when i checked the same option SO10, we have an option choose.
So workaround will be like this:
Create your desired text in SO10 with your own style and include that standard text in your task description.
Hope it solves your issue.
Thanks and Regards,

Having issues with trying to change style in Robo11

Having an issue with Robo11 allowing me to change a style in a topic (document imported from Word) that already exist in the style css. Robo allows me to scroll down, but immediately jumps back to the top. This has only occured on 4-5 projects out of over 50 projects. Have tried more than one way to change style, but continues to jump to top of style type list.

Can you try the styles and formatting pod instead? (View > Pods > Styles and Formatting) Can you assign the style through that?

Feature Request: Change Style - Style Set (word like)

I'm learning to use pages and there is a feature in word that I miss a lot.
It's the Change Style - Style Set
I want to change all the styles of my document, using the templates that I have installed in my machine, in a coherent way. In word I can do it with a button click. I really don't know how it is possible in Pages.
Regards

In Word there is something akin to the CSS style sheet, but not as comprehensive.
It lets you have stylesheet sets where the color, fonts, and various style elements can be swapped over for complete documents.
It is a nice idea but not complete, and typically for Microsoft, the examples they offer are ugly.
Pages could usefully rip this off and improve on it. That would make Pages '12 or '20 a truely great and useful upgrade.

Change Style for text (PE12)

When I insert a text, i can change style just one time. It is not possible to change style for other text. I must stop the program and start up for changing style at each time I request to change style.
Solution?

Peru Bob,
Thank you for linking to the Muvipix thread. Not sure what happened in PrE 12, but this Styles Bug looks pretty serious, as Styles allow a user to do so much, regarding attributes for Shapes and Text.
Appreciated,

Nested styles within TOC - a newbie

Hi, I wonder if someone can help with a TOC query. It will involve nested character styles which I've not really got my head around
Currently there are two paragraph styles in the book to appear in the TOC in their own styles (so four paragraph styles in total - Chapter Number, Chapter Name, Chapter Number TOC and Chapter Name TOC).
They currently generate in their simplest form in the TOC as:
Chapter 1
An introduction to your new home ................8
I simply want the chapter name to appear on the same line.
Chapter 1 An introduction to your new home ................8
Thanks for any help anyone.

Peter G,
I don't do XML, but I think the answer is basically the same as initially outlined. If it's one paragraph with some sort of magic line break character, that character is going to be carried into the TOC and create a line break there as well, and if it's two paragraphs sepatated by a magic separator, it's going to remain two paragraphs. Break characters don't just disappear on their because we decide we don't want to see them -- they have to be deleted, and styles cannot add or remove text, only change the formatting.
The neat thing about the No Break style (which never occurred to me before this morning), is precisly that it doesn't depend on any break characters to work, only the supposition that the second part of the paragraph will be too long to fit unbroken on the same line as the first part, and that it will fit on a new line. ID simply breaks the text at that point because it has no better choice. This is not, unfortunately, guaranteed to work for all paragraphs as it depends on column widths and text length to work in combination to force the break.
The No Break approach is a good solution if the TOC text frame and paragraph properties can be made to wrap at the allowed break position.
I was trying to find a counterpart to FrameMaker's run-in paragraph feature, but as you verified, it's not possible. FYI, here's how it looks in FM:
The source document uses ChapNum paragraph format (aka "ID paragraph style" for "Chapter number 1:" which is all in the autonumber part of the paragraph. The ChapTitl paragraph format is used for the "Chapter title" text.
As in ID, the two paragraph formats/styles are designated to be extracted by the TOC process. FM's TOCs are always generated as independent files. In the TOC document, ChapNum format/style becomes ChapNumTOC, and ChapTitle format/style becomes ChapTitleTOC. The *TOC styles can be styled differently from their source paragraphs. So, ChapNumTOC is given the run-in property which allows the next paragraph in the document - here it's the ChapTitlTOC paragraph with "Chapter Title" text - to follow it on the same line. However, you can see the green pilcrow at the end of the ChapNumTOC paragraph, which identifies it as a true paragraph, that happens to lack the property that starts it on a new line. Once the TOC's formatted properly, every subsequent TOC process is completely "hands off," i.e., no manual touch up needed, nothing to forget. This is why I keep submitting an enhancement request for this ability, and also encourage others.

Ical iOS Lion, month preview / change style

Hi,
I am wondering how to display the preview of the months to come in the left side of the new iCal, like it was possible before in weekly view.
I really miss this functionality, as I need to have a good idea of the months to come to manage many of my events.
Anyway to display it?
As a side note, I would really like to change the style of the new iCal as I don't like the leather effect. Let me know if this is possible.
Many thanks

I am in total agreement on EVERYTHING you said. I don't know if it is the designer in my, but I couldn't stomach the faux leather look at all. I changed that using this tutorial! Super easy and well worth it.
http://www.simpleandusable.com/news/how-to-remove-the-faux-leather-in-ical-for-o s-x-lion.html
However, I really want teh previous months preivews and can't figure that out! I am really bummed they changed this feature!!

CSS - how do I remove/change styles for one image?

Hi,
In my CSS I have the following rule which styles all the images within the 'main_text' div with a border, background colour and padding:
#main_text img{
    border: 1px solid #666;
    padding: 5px;
    background-color: #C0BEB6;
However I have one image on one page where I want to remove this styling and I can't find a way of doing it.
I've tried applying a class to the image I want to change:
.exclaim {
    border-style: none;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
    padding: 0px;
The .exclaim rule appears after '#main_text img' in the stylesheet.
The float and margin both work but the border and padding are retained from the other selector.
I know I could just have 2 classes and apply them as necessary but eventually I am likely to have quite a few images throughout the site that need the border and padding and just the one that doesn't.
The site in question is here: http://www.elitejoiners-shopfitters.co.uk/
The page that contains the image that doesn't need the border is the error page: http://www.elitejoiners-shopfitters.co.uk/error404.html
Thanks
Mick

Will .exclaim always be inside #main_text?
If so, increase the CSS "weight" of .exclaim by targetting it more specifically so that it trumps #main_text img:
change
.exclaim {
    border-style: none;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
    padding: 0px;
to
#main_text .exclaim {
    border-style: none;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
    padding: 0px;

Using javascript to change styles and such

I want ot use javascript to change the "display" style of a
div tag
whatDiv.style.display = "block"
This works fine if the div tag has an inline style defined:
<div style="display:none"> ...</div>
But if the tag has a class attached to it and the display
:none is attached
to that class, then it doesn't work
<style...>
div.hidden{ display:none; }
</style>
<div class="hidden"> ... </div>
... how can I remedy this?

Nope. That's not what I'm saying. Regardless of whether
you're using a
class or not, if you get an object reference using an ID, you
can change
the properties. Consider this example:

color: #ffffff;
text-align: center;
height: 60px;
width: 500px;
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var bg="#009";
function changeColor(x){
o=document.getElementById(x);
bg=(bg=="#009"?"#900":"#009");
o.style.backgroundColor=bg;

How to change style properties of text links

Hello to everyone.
There is a very irritating thing going on with the style properties of a text link.
I want my text that acts as a link to other pages, to retain the properties of a normal text. iWeb keeps underlining the text and changing the colour of it.
Is it possible to alter that without fiddling with the css file? I can change that if have to but that means that I'll have to manually edit the file in more than 50 pages...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Dimitris

Dmitris,
There is no way to do this in iWeb directly. As you have already alluded to, the only way to do this would be to edit the CSS files for your pages. You could do this by hand, but judging by your message it doesn't sound like you would have too much fun doing this.
I would suggest that you look into a program like MassReplaceIt...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/massreplaceit.html
This is basically a glorified find and replace type of tool. You can tell it to find a whole block of parameters in the CSS file and change it to whatever you like. And the benefit for you is that you can save these actions so that you can redo them whenever you publish the pages. MRI is smart enough to change only what needs changing. And searching out all the CSS files in all subdirectories is a bonus for you, Dmitris. Just point it at your site folder and let the program change all 50 CSS files in one click!
Good luck!

ListView changing style

Hi,
i trying to change the colors of the ListView. First of all i defined a default list-view styleclass for selection of the elements in the list.
.list-view:focused .list-cell:filled:selected, .list-view:focused .list-cell:filled:selected:hover {
    -fx-background: yellow;
.list-cell:filled:selected:focused, .list-cell:filled:selected {
    -fx-background-color: yellow;
}All my ListView have now this styleclass. Now i would like define an other style for a listview to customize only one ListView in my application. The unique ListView with the style exist only onetime in my application. So i create an other styleclass:
.xlist-view:focused .list-cell:filled:selected, .xlist-view:focused .list-cell:filled:selected:hover {
    -fx-background: pink;
/* When the ListView is _not_ focused, we show alternate selection colors */
.xlist-cell:filled:selected:focused, .xlist-cell:filled:selected {
    -fx-background-color: pink;
} and add this styleclass to my listview
xListView.getStyleClass().add("xlist-view"); but nothing changed. All ListView have the style from the default-definition of the Listview and the "onlyone" Listview have also the Style of the default-definition and doesnt overwrite the styles ... If i doesnt define the .listview style, my "onlyone" ListView will get the styleclass and the selected items will be "pink" if i selecting it.
This situation makes my realy crazy and i have no idea how to resolve this issue? Have someone an idea??
Regards
Edited by: netwalker on 25.07.2012 00:03

I think this is because the .list-view style does not have a higher priority than the .xlist-view style (listviews by default already have a "list-view" style applied to them).
So basically, if you had two listviews, one with style "list-view" (default) and one with style "list-view" (default) and "xlist-view" then it is unclear which should be used for the 2nd one, because neither is more specifically defined in CSS.
If however you defined the xlist-view style in CSS like this...:
.list-view.xlist-view:focused .list-cell:filled:selected, .list-view.xlist-view:focused .list-cell:filled:selected:hover {
    -fx-background: pink;
/* When the ListView is _not_ focused, we show alternate selection colors */
.list-cell.xlist-cell:filled:selected:focused, .list-cell.xlist-cell:filled:selected {
    -fx-background-color: pink;
}...then this one will match only elements that have both "list-view" (default) and "xlist-view" classes. This is more specific, and thus should take priority.
