How do you set the default font for the HTML Editor? I seem to cannot find it any where.

Thanks,

There is a file called 'md.css' this exists in two locations. The one your notebase uses is in the same location as your notebase. The default one used for new notebases is in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\InfoQube Information Manager\AppFiles' unless you are running on a 32 bit system in which case it will be in 'C:\Program Files\InfoQube Information Manager\AppFiles'.

You need to know the format of a .CSS file. There is much information on the web about .CSS files. They are plain text and so you can edit them with a plain text editor. Good Luck !

I changed the md.css file but that did not change the default. Unless I have to restart my computer first before it takes affect.

Thanks,

Hi John,

The md.css is only used for Markdown documents.

To set the default HTML pane format:

Start with an empty item
Set the HTML pane format to what you want, using the formatting tools or edit the HTML code.
Finally, do Menu > File > Save as Default

Pierre,

I change the font as instructed. First I tried Menu>Format>Font then Menu>File>Save As Default. Then I tried editing the HTML code and then Save As Default. I am trying to change the font to Consolas. But neither method worked. In both cases they both revert back to Aerial.

Thanks,

John

So true...

You need to change it in the Style section of the HTML document:

<HTML><HEAD>
<META name=GENERATOR content="InfoQube 0.9.108a">
<META charset=UTF-8>
<STYLE> body {font-family:Consolas; font-size:12pt;} table {font-family:Consolas; font-size:10pt;} ol, ul { margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 2em; }</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bottomMargin=0 bgColor=#ffffff leftMargin=2 topMargin=2 rightMargin=2>
<DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>

[edit]

Making the change inside the HTML panel no longer works... Edit the file NewHTML.htm (in the your user folder) directly in notepad instead. This will be fixed in the next release

Pierre,

Thanks for getting it fixed in the next release. I copied and pasted the following HTML code into the NewHTML.htm file.

The code I pasted is as follows.

<STYLE> body {font-family:Consolas; font-size:12pt;} ol, ul { margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 2em; }</STYLE>

</HEAD>

I closed the application and reopened it. And the changes did not take effect. Ariel still shows as the default font. Does it have to be a whole new database? I tried Menu>File>New HTML document as well. This did not make a difference either.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

No need to close the application. File is read each time it is needed. Perhaps the changes were done on the wrong instance of the file...

The Users folder location can be found from Tools > Help > About > Support

Once updated, ensure that in the HTML pane, you do File > New > New HTML Document

I made sure that I was in the right location. I changed the NewHTM.htm on two different computers with the same result. In both cases the default did not change. Going to File > New > New HTML Document did not make a difference. Looks like I may need to wait for the new update to come out.

Thanks,

Fixed in v109:

Fixed: HTML: Save as Default did not work
Fixed: HTML pane: Code view did not have a context menu

HTH !
