> 22 Setting up CSS for HTML > 22.5 Understanding how CSS affects other options
The choice to use CSS changes the behavior of certain other options. Be aware of the following:
Using CSS turns off <font> tags by default
Using CSS changes some default values
Not using CSS changes other default values.
Using CSS turns off <font> tags by default
When UseCSS=Yes
, the default
value for [HTMLOptions]NoFonts
results in removal
of <font>
tags; these tags are deprecated,
and are not needed with CSS.
However, if you specify UseCSS=Yes
and then do not supply or create a CSS
file, text appearance in your HTML output still depends on <font>
tags, which are no longer present unless you explicitly set [HTMLOptions]NoFonts=No
in the configuration file. Therefore, the text in your document might
not come out the way you expect.
See §21.7.4 Including or excluding font tags.
Using CSS changes some default values
When UseCSS=Yes
, default
values are reversed for the [Graphics]
and
[HtmlOptions]
settings listed in Table 22[HTMLOptions]AllowOverrides
, which defaults to Yes
for HTML (but not for XML or DITA) to retain any incidental use of bold
and italic in text.)
Not using CSS changes other default values
When UseCSS=No
, default
values are reversed for the [CSS]
settings
listed in Table 22
