Getting CKEditor to show styles from style.css

I would like CKeditor to display the styles used in the HTMLContent as defined in styl.css, ideally both in the body of the editor and in the dropdown. Do I cretae style templates to match the Heading styles etc and or edit content.css in the CK folder under clientscript?

Can't seem to find an answer for this.

Re: Getting CKEditor to show styles from style.css

I'm not sure about styling the content of the entries in the dropdown list, but you can override the styling of the content area by using the selector body.wysiwygeditor to make it look the way you want. For instance:

body.wysiwygeditor h1 { font-size: 20px; margin: 21px 0 12px 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor h2 { font-size: 18px; margin: 19px 0 12px 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor h3 { font-size: 17px; margin: 18px 0 12px 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor h4 { font-size: 16px; margin: 17px 0 12px 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor h5 { font-size: 15px; margin: 16px 0 12px 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor h6 { font-size: 13px; margin: 14px 0 12px 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor ul, ol { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0 0 0 2em; padding: 0; }
body.wysiwygeditor p { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 12px 0; }

Hope that helps,

Jamie

Thanks Jamie - will get that sorted. I am more used to FCK the old version where you defined styles in a file called styles.xml that were picked up by the editor for the dropdown but CK seems to do things differently. Getting the main element slooking OK will be fine

Re: Getting CKEditor to show styles from style.css

Do you recommend placing those styles in style.css, or another stylesheet?

For example:

body.wysiwygeditor h1 { font-size: 20px; margin: 21px 0 12px 0; }

I am able to target iframe.cke_wysiwyg_frame in style.css, but trying to target anything further down in the hierarchy is not working for me. I am using CKEditor, and the latest version of mojo. Even a call like iframe.cke_wysiwyg_frame h1 fails to be read from style.css.

Thanks!
