You use HTML to define the default properties of a presentation template in the same way you use HTML to define the default properties of a Web page.

Any valid HTML property can be set including:

 

Example

<html>
<head></head>
<body bgcolor="#CC0000" 
      text="#000000" link="#6666FF" 
      vlink="#9999FF" 
      alink="#FF33CC" 
      leftmargin="5" 
      topmargin="5">
</body>
</html>

If the same page properties are used in more than one presentation template, they can be stored in a single text component that is itself referenced within the presentation template: 

<body <component name="TextComponentName"/>>

 

Use cascading style sheets

Default style properties cannot be set for components. The default page properties will override any page properties set in a component.

Cascading style sheets can be used to control the style of components. E.g., You could make the links in a menu a different color to the links in a navigator by using cascading style sheets to determine the style of different components.

Where possible, it is best practice to use one cascading style sheet for an entire site. A link to the style sheet should be used, rather than embedding the style sheet.
