Example

Suppose that we want to define a custom "java" API, with the method arguments highlighted in yellow. The original Java API has the following specification:

   <api id="java" desc="Java" type="java">
   ...  
      <element type="method" name="method">
         <children>
            <child name="argument" />       
         </children>           
         <property id="modifierAndType" desc="Modifier and Type" />
         <property id="description" desc="Method and Description" />
         <property id="params" desc="Parameters" /> 
      </element>  
   ...
   </api>

The default style for arguments span is argNameAPI:

   span.argNameAPI {
     font-family: Monospace;
   }      

The result is the following:

We will define a new API (for example we could call it "java2") and add a custom style for the argName style id:

      <api id="java2" desc="CustomJava" type="java">
      ...  
         <element type="method" name="method">
            <children>
               <child name="argument" />       
            </children>           
            <property id="modifierAndType" desc="Modifier and Type" />
            <property id="description" desc="Method and Description" />
            <property id="params" desc="Parameters" /> 
            <style id="argName" style="myArgStyle" >
         </element>  
      ...
      </api>

and the associated new CSS rules:

   span.argNameAPI {
     font-family: Monospace;
     background-color: yellow;
   }      

We could set the new CSS file using the "css" property in the configuration file or the command-line.

The result will be:
