When working with widgets in your portal page, you might encounter formatting issues, such as inconsistent styling of static text and tags. This helps you create CSS formatting styles to ensure a uniform appearance. The styles are available wherever the Rich Text Editor is used, such as on widgets and email templates.

The Issue
You may find that when you format text (in this example, some static text and a tag) in a widget, only the static text is correctly formatted when you look at it in the portal.
Solution: CSS Styling
You need to create or modify the CSS file associated with the widget to resolve this formatting inconsistency. Here are recommended steps:
- If it does not already exist, create a CSS file in the IDE. Open the IDE by navigating to Modeller > Developer > Developer IDE.
- Add your new style and click save.
- Open the Rich Text Editor feature by navigating to Global Features and searching for rich.
- Under the Custom Styles section, make sure the correct style sheet is selected and create a new style. Give it a name and enter the name of the style you created earlier.
-
Save & Close, then recycle the cache
- The new style will now be available in the Rich Text Editor.
- Text formatted with the new style will display correctly.
