Elements to CSS selectors

This article explains the correspondance from elements to CSS selectors. It is useful when you want to customize the CSS StyleSheets for the HTML result, or if you want to add a style attribute to an element.

For example, the pre and source elements will both generate a corresponding "pre" element in HTML.

Attributes of a Stylable element

A stylable element has the optional following attributes to specify its style:

• "class": allows to sepcify the CSS StyleClasses of the element. It will be added to the existing styles which might already have been set by the generator for the element
• "style": allows to specify the inline "style" of the element

These two attributes are not exclusive. For example:

   <table class="myStyle" style="style="font-size:12px;" />

Only the elements which have a direct correspondance are described below.
