Problem:
XMLmind XML Editor seems to keep a list of the CSS features it supports.
And if it discovers a CSS feature that it does not support, then it does
not (in one particular situation) permit you to use the corresponding
CSS code.
Example - do this:
1. Insert an <img> element in a HTML file
2. Click once on the <img> element and then click once on the style
attribute (in the attribute panel).
3. Now, click on style editor icon
4. Now, activate the CSS source editor
5. Add this code:
* float:right;
6. Click OK
* *Expected outcome:* The CSS editor should close
* *Actuall outcome:* XXE emits a warning that the CSS feature is
unsupported.
* *Workaround:* By pasting the code in the less fancy edit field of
the very Attribute pane (that is: by not using XXE’s CSS editor),
the warning is 'escaped'.
The CSS float feature is an age old CSS feature. It would make sence if
XXE warned us that XXE itself does not support CSS float, as long as it
did not make it it difficult to ignore such warnings. Because, while it
is absolutely usesfull to know which CSS features XXE supports. However,
to most XXE users, this is not very interesting, as they author not for
XXE but for Web browsers.
The vast majority of XXE users author DITA or DocBook, not XHTML. Hence,
the vast majority of XXE users do not need to specify CSS styles.
Proposal
Either remove the CSS warnings completely.
This is certainly not a good idea. Example: "padding-rigth: 0;"
OR alter the warning by a) making it (more) clear that the warning only
applies to XXE’s own CSS rendering capabilities.
Sorry but we cannot implement this. XXE cannot make a difference between
incorrect CSS properties/property values (e.g. "padding-rigth:0;") and
its own limitations (e.g. "float:right;").
And at any rate: Do not
prevent users from entering CSS code that XXE does not support.
OK. We'll change the CSS source editor in order to let you click OK even
when some CSS warnings about unsupported properties/property values are
reported.
