Before you begin

The Dynamic HTML Standard Edition template is a good choice if you need the following:

• HTML that works in version 4.0 and higher browsers
• More control over formatting

Because the Dynamic HTML Standard Edition template is based on the Portable HTML Standard Edition template, most of the customization techniques available for the Portable HTML Standard Edition template also work for the Dynamic HTML Standard Edition template. Make sure that you review the Portable HTML Standard Edition template information thoroughly (see Chapter 9, "Understanding the Portable HTML Standard Edition Template") before you use the Dynamic HTML Standard Edition template.

This chapter discusses how the Dynamic HTML Standard Edition template is constructed and how to customize it. Topics include:

• Understanding the cascading style sheet (CSS) file
• Changing a CSS style
• Understanding paragraph styles
• Understanding character styles
• Understanding the Default paragraph style
• Understanding the Default character style
• Using your own CSS file
• Adding new styles
