Re: Re: Re: HTML and Tiki problems

If you still have the original HTML pages intact, you could compare them to the Tiki wiki pages where the HTML has been input. My first question is what styling is needed for these pages? The easiest solution is to just let Tiki's CSS do all the styling for these pages as it does for the other wiki pages at your Tiki site. That is, do these pages need to look like they did previously, or can they just look like other "native" wiki pages at your site? I'm wondering how the pages look if you just paste in the HTML and don't do anything about the CSS.

CSS is used mainly for two things: layout (positioning of page items) and aesthetics (making the typography and other visual details nice). Hopefully the aesthetics can be covered by the Tiki theme stylesheet. If your HTML needs CSS to put things in the correct positions, etc., then more drastic efforts are needed, and it's hard to say how to do it specifically without seeing the pages.

Anyway, in answer to your question, you can look for all instances of

class=
and
id=
in the HTML you're putting into the wiki pages. Then find the rules in your stylesheets that match. In the stylesheet, a class name is represented like
.classname
and and id by
#idname


Here's an alternative suggestion: Instead of importing the content as HTML, just copy it as text and put it in the wiki page. Then apply headings or other styling as needed, along with re-adding the images using Tiki's wiki syntax. Would that be easier?
