Mat et al, Dropping Awesome fonts, bootstrap and or w3.css <https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/default.asp> css files into a tiddler and tagging as style sheets is easy, trivial even and provides a lot of additional styling opportunities. I like this open solution better than bespoke ones.
To me the main barrier is documentation that helps people understand how to identify, and how to manipulate the elements within tiddlywiki, and the classes, and related variables already in use so that you may override them if desired. I recently discovered you can even leverage whole html/css platforms if you are prepared to include their dependencies in the same folder of your wiki. However the new class field should be explored more https://tiddlywiki.com/#Custom%20styles%20by%20user-class Regards Tony On Monday, April 29, 2019 at 4:37:36 AM UTC+10, Mat wrote: > > Jeremy Ruston wrote: >> >> >> In reply to @TiddlyTweeters footnote; I also think CSS is one of the >> areas that need more love.
