Now that we have explored on how to work with the content of generated HTML5 layouts; let's turn to formatting those pages.
To review, there are two main components of this: formatting the regular HTML tags that define the look of the page overall; and formatting the HTML5 elements themselves. In the remainder of this chapter, we will learn to do the former, which is a substantial part of page design with or without HTML5.
Remember back when you first generated an HTML5 layout? You were asked to save an associated CSS file with a long name either HTML5_twoColFixRtHdr.css
or HTML5_thrColFixHdr.css
.
That supplied CSS file, is what applies formatting to the HTML5 elements and other layout features of your web page. You can see that attached style sheet in the CSS Styles panel. In the recipe at the end of this chapter, you will save that CSS file with your own file name as you customize it.
