Re: Better explanation about CSS files and the free BlueGriffon

If the original file was linked correctly, it should work fine, but if the WYSIWYG screen is not showing the styles, it is likely that it cannot find the file. I'm guessing that you are using a free template from online somewhere.

To show the linked style sheets and edit them:
If you click on Panels, then Stylesheets to open the stylesheets panel, it should list all linked stylesheets. There is a + sign at the bottom left of the panel, to allow you to add a new link.  The stylesheet should then appear in the list, and you should be able to double click to edit the CSS code.

It may also depend on whether you are working on Windows/Mac or Linux. With the code you have, I would make sure that the folder is css not CSS, and the stylesheet is style.css not Style.css or anything else. Some of the makers of these templates do not check whether their templates work across MAC, Windows and linux, or use best practice.

Thank you in advance

I'm trying out BlueGriffon.
I'm loading/opening an existent website with its HTML files and CSS files, and it is an HTML5 project.

Why the WYSIWYG panel shows the page without CSS applied?

How they should be linked the CSS files, as example, in my HTML files I link them as follow

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">

since my HTML pages are in the root and I have a CSS directory with the various CSS files in it.

Is it matter of changing the path stile from css/style.css to something else or what?

I don't find any tool/setup where to "tell" BlueGriffon which CSS to use in the page, so I suppose it should get it from the HTML source. Is it like that?

Thank you for any hint/reply/help

I don't think you are answering the right question.

I think what the OP was asking was: with multiple stylesheets, how can
you detect, when using the Style Properties Panel, in which stylesheet
a rule appears and how do you control where further edits will be
placed.

This is a known issue (must check bugzilla for number) as the only
method at the moment involves digging around in the individual
stylesheets!

I may be wrong, but I don't think I am.

"Why the WYSIWYG panel shows the page without CSS applied?"

I was largely answering based on that sentence. That describes the behaviour when you delete/move/rename the CSS file(s) (in my opinion). Perhaps Cor can come back with a bit more information.

Perhaps you are right!

I was largely answering based on this sentence!

"I don't find any tool/setup where to "tell" BlueGriffon which CSS to
use in
the page"

Shows that I shouldn't take things out of context!

I see what you mean. That sentence could easily be taken that way.  The internet is such fun!
