Are you using the old editor (FCKEditor) or the new editor (CKEditor 4) released with Dynamicweb 8.3?

The old one

Then you have to use System/Styles.xml. Try putting something like this into the file to see if it works.

<Style name="Code" element="span">
	<Attribute name="class" value="Code" />
	<Attribute name="style" value="border: 1px solid red;" />
</Style>
<Style name="Custom Bold" element="span">
	<Attribute name="style" value="font-weight: bold;" />
</Style>

Do you have a solution I can take a look at if you cannot make it work?

If possible, you should upgrade to the new editor – it's a lot better and easier to configure.
 

 I used that file, like I mentioned when I started this thread, but it doesn't seem to work. I even did an application-pool-recycle.

Hi Mikkel,

In what terms do you think the new editor is easier to configure?.I'm currently working with it and I find myself in a situation where usage of the styles.xml could come in handy. E.g. given the scenario a user needs the ability to style a bullet list in 3 different ways.. How will you accomplish this by not hardcoding the classes etc. into the source tab? :)

I would read the documentation for CKEditor 4 with focus on the Configuration Reference. More specifically I would read http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-stylesSet and http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.stylesSet.

Best regards,
Mikkel
