Editing the style for hyperlinks

Post by Centauri27 »

I am trying to change how my hyperlinked text appears in a PDF, but I can't seem to find the correct style in the stylesheet. For cross references, I know that it's under "MadCap | xref". I thought that hyperlinks would be "a", but it doesn't appear to be the case.

Currently, my hyperlinks are appearing as italicized and I want to change them to non-italicized, enclosed in quotes, to match my cross references.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Carl

Open your stylesheet using the internal editor (or any basic text editor) and search for "font-style:italic;" or "font-style: italic;". One or more of your hits will be on a, a:link, a:visited, a:focus, a:hover, and/or a:active.

Great idea, Craig--it worked! It located "a:link" as being italic and that is what's causing the results I'm seeing. But the strange thing is, when I look at "a:link" in the stylesheet in Flare, it does not show as italic--Flare maintains that the style is "Regular", in both the Simple and Advanced view. No wonder I couldn't find it. :?

Sounds like a bug you should report to Flare. Glad you're working. Take care.
