Thanks Mike for the information about StyleSheetShortcuts. I already use this tiddler but did not have the latest version that included the ColorPalette colours. When using this approach in table cells, the text background is formatted correctly, but not the entire background of the cell. This can be seen in cell #2 below:
|cell #1|{{BGPrimaryPale{cell #2}}}| |background-color:#8cf;cell #3|background-color: [[ColorPalette::PrimaryPale]]; cell #4| Cheers Andrew Mc On Feb 13, 10:10 am, Mike <eris...@gmail.com> wrote: > Originally you had mentioned using ColorPalette colors in your table. > > Might want to look at:http://www.tiddlytools.com/#StyleSheetShortcuts > > At the End you will find (did not include all of the code. . .) > /* [[ColorPalette]] text colors */ > .Background { color:[[ColorPalette::Background]]; } > > /* [[ColorPalette]] background colors */ > .BGBackground { background-color:[[ColorPalette::Background]]; } > > Can copy the sections into your StyleSheet > or > import the StyleSheetShortcuts tiddler and transclude it via placing > [[StyleSheetShortcuts]] at the top or bottom of your StyleSheet. > (Effectively launching your StyleSheet + StyleSheetShortcuts at start > up) > > Then could use the {{BGBackground{ My cool text here }}} > > Mike > > On Feb 12, 6:29 am, whatever <kbrezov...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Using CSS, you can define classes.
