Re: [docbook-apps] Why is italic text not displayed in html files generated from Docbook/Oxygen ?

[Sorin Ristache <sorin@sync.ro>]

Hello,

The WebHelp CSS is missing these two styles which we will add in the 
next version of Oxygen:


.bold {
    font-weight:bold;
}

.italic {
    font-style:italic;
}


For fixing the problem in the WebHelp transformation in your current 
Oxygen installation please add these two styles in the following file:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\docbook\xsl\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\css\webhelp_topic.css


Best regards,
Sorin
