[TW5] Retaining Styles in Exported HTML

[Jeff Vance]

Hi folks,  I've been experimenting with drafting up stuff inside TW, then exporting to other places.  For example, I might write up status reports for work, then export these (or copy/paste) into an email. Or I might draft a document, export to HTML, then import that file into LibreOffice or Google Docs, etc.  I've noticed that this overall works extremely well.  Usually all the formatting is kept and I can rapidly generate some very professional looking emails and documents.

However, there are a couple things I noticed that were bothering me. I think it has something to do with the priority of how the CSS rules are applied or translated.  I have a custom style sheet where I modified some colors. For example, inline code I made a darker red and removed the borders. The static HTML file looks fine, but sometimes copying to emails or importing to a word processor, it returns to the original TW style of bright red with borders.  Plus: in some cases, the large code blocks (which normally aren't red), are sometimes rendered entirely in red text as if they are inline code (rather than block code).  Anyone have ideas how to fix this?
