Template-generated pages block editing

[wizardchef]

I have a peculiar problem that although I have full administrative permissions
set, and I have all permissions set for styles, on any page generated by a
template the font size and color choices are grayed out. I suspect this has
something to do with the css I am using, but why don't I have permission to
override the css styles with a local tag??? Any thoughts appreciated.

Don't know your admin-settings or CSS but the help says:

Apply sizes using

lets you select the unit of measure to display in the Contribute editor
toolbar: points, pixels, or ems. This option is available only if you selected
Document-level CSS from the Style support pop-up menu.

Yes, I have all that set. In that popup menu I have selected:
-Document-level CSS
-Checked:
Allow users to apply styles
Include HTML heading styles
Include CSS styles in the Style menu
Show all CSS styles
Allow users to apply fonts and sizes
apply sizes using pixels
Allow users to apply bold, italic, etc.
Allow users to apply font color and background color


So, why doesn't it give me permission on these new pages???????

That's not so nice.
There is another post about this same problem:

Have your set a font-size for every tag in your css stylesheet? My experience
is that when you give a p-tag a certain font-size, Contribute will not create a
document level style that changes the font-size. Maybe Contribute puts the css
before doc level styles no matter wat. I'm not sure if this is the case, but
maybe you can tets it.

That thought has occurred to me as well. In fact, I have had a problem at other
times overriding a css specification locally, although you're supposed to be
able to do that, when Contribute was not even involved. I do have font specs on
the body and on paragraphs. I'm not sure how to work around this unless I
jettison css and go to local tags, which would defeat the whole purpose of css.
But, I'll do the experiment. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes! This was it! Setting the style choice to 'html' from 'css' allows one to
edit the fonts. I find this menu a bit misleading. Apparently, what this choice
really means is "allow local html tags to override css". The way it is worded,
one would think it disallows the style sheet definition, but it does not.

Anyway, thanks for hanging with me on this one. I'm surprised this hasn't come
up more often. I couldn't find anything by searching.
