For example, you can make the background of the first row blue and the background of first column yellow. 5 Select font, size, and color. 6 Select border and border color. 7 Click Apply. The new style appears in the CSS Styles list of the Table Styles dialog box. Select this style to create tables with the same style later. Notes: • Click the Apply Global Table Style icon on the Tables And Borders toolbar to apply a style to the table. • Based on the sequence of changes, in the first and last cell of a row, the row color overrides the column color. The appearance of a table is the result of several classes, such as Table, TR, and TD. RoboHelp applies these subclasses to the respective table item when you apply a table class. Therefore, if you want to change a table style through code or script, write a class attribute (class="myTableClass") in the table tag. RoboHelp applies all the table patterns for the remaining items of the table in Design Editor. Apply conditional build tags to tables Conditional build tags let you exclude content from output. 1 Select a row, column, table, or text in a table. 2 Select Format > Apply Conditional Build Tags > New/Multiple. 3 Select tags. Click OK. List styles About list styles RoboHelp provides three types of lists: HTML lists, advanced lists, and autonumbered lists. Advanced lists can be either single level or multilevel lists. You can define HTML list styling under List Styles and Advanced lists under Multilevel List Styles. Define autonumbered lists under Paragraph Styles. HTML lists All the ordered and unordered lists come under HTML lists. Advanced lists Creates a hierarchical or outline list, such as numbered heading styles, with numbering such as 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, and so on. Like simple numbered lists, hierarchical numbered lists and the accompanying paragraph styles share the same formatting. The multilevel lists set up complex nested steps, such as steps, step results, substeps, and so on. Multilevel lists define only the numbering properties. Multilevel lists do not have their formatting until they are linked to paragraph styles. For an example of how to create a multilevel list based on a supplied style (list template), see the Outline Numbering section in Peter Grainge's RoboHelp tour. Autonumbered lists Autonumbered lists are linked to paragraph styles. To autonumber a paragraph, you can apply autonumbering to it. To number figures or tables sequentially, define a simple numbered list format, such as Figure Last updated 12/14/2011
