Field help (ASTY)
The characteristics of the are defined in the form of a text containing the elements such as those below, separated by a semicolon (and also preceded by a semicolon :
Characteristics | Example of an element |
Font | font-family:Arial |
Size | font-size:12pt |
Weight | font-weight:bold |
Inclination | font-style:italic |
Underlining | text-decoration :underline |
Colour | font-color:#xxxxx |
Background colour | background-colour :#xxxxxx |
NB: xxxxxx are the red, green, blue components with color in hexadecimal.
Rather than entering the elements in question, it is much more simple to use the Style editor. There is a classic Windows(TM) window available for defining and choosing the fonts, the sizes and the colours.
It should be noted that it is not necessary to define all the characteristics of a style. If certain characteristics are not defined, they retain the value given by the context (in particular, the user parameterization accessible from the general menu by Tools / Options). In this way, for example, the font used by default by the user for the fields in entry mode remains the same if a style only changes the colour; in the same way, an alteration of the parameterized colour for table entry by the user is not affected by a style applied to certain cells, if the background colour is not defined in the style.
