Styles pane

The Styles pane shows which CSS style rules apply to the currently selected element. Hovering over elements, parent elements, styles and selector parts in the Styles pane highlights the affected elements in the main editor.
A link next to a style rule will open the file where that particular style is defined. This can be either a CSS file or the source file of a section if local formatting was used (see Styling and formatting).

A crossed-out style rule signals that it was overruled by another style rule. This happens when:

  • A more specific, and therefore more important rule, is encountered for the same element. See Using a more specific CSS rule to learn more about the specificity of style rules.

  • A rule with the same importance is read after the first rule. Not only is the order of the rules in a CSS file important, but also the order in which the style sheets are read. The style sheets that are included with a section are read in the specified order; see Applying a style sheet to a section.
