Hi all
I'm very new with RSD (coming from CSS2 - when I was younger :rolleyes: ) and after some days with it I think I made the good choice...
BUT
can you explain me why picture element exists with two forms, one "simple" picture and one "link" picture ?
Why not add the link part to the standard picture design panel ?
Looking the html code it seams to be just adding
<a href="the_link_name"
before the class part or is it another reason my old brain doesn't understand yet ?
(same for others "link" elements)
please explain me

Hi,

They are different because RSD was in the first place not made for coders, but actually for the code non-savvy. Having those two makes it easier to create what they want. You will see that there are also both 'text' and 'text link', for exactly the same reason.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

hum, well, but its very confusing when you make all work with 'picture' element then need to use 'picture link' instead...
(chance we not have elements like 'italic text', 'colored text' or 'bold text')

sorry english is not my language so here irony lose a bit of its punch :cool:

<irony> Even non-coders are usually able to style the text with colours and font-weight. They do that in all the office applications. </irony>

It's pretty clear really "picture" or "picture-link" one is a picture the other is a picture with a link. simple choice for you to decide which one you need when deigning your layout

You can style text pargaraphs headings with colour, size, strength itialic's 2 ways

1/ This way effects all of the text/paragraph, headers etc you have selected (also any other text/paragraph/headers on the same page or other pages that have the SAME class name.

select the text/paragraph/header whatever
in design panel drop down to the section "typography" there you will see the choices
font (choose the font you want from the dropdown list) choose the weight from the dropdown list underneath the font name. eg 600 is a semi bold weight
underneath that are all the other styling options you want

2/ select the text/paragraph/headers etc
this way only effects the element you have selected

with the element selected, right click with your mouse & select "edit text"
when the text editor opens you highlight the text you wish to add the second styling to andthen you can choose other styles & this time it only effects the highlighted text.
sorry this is in English, I hope you can get to understand, but if not I have a video available that shows all of the process for this styling you may be able to better follow something visually
