Not managing to apply CSS to shared notes

[anantone]

Hello, I've followed the instructions from the wiki, adding to the shareRoot note attribute ~shareCss(inheritable)=CSS with the CSS note titled "CSS" as part of the shared subtree, and #shareHiddenFromTree to the CSS note, and #shareOmitDefaultCss(inheritable) to the shareRoot note.

I've tried with my own CSS and also this one.

I'm able to toggle default CSS on and off with #shareOmitDefaultCss(inheritable), but none of the CSS from my CSS note gets applied.

I'm not sure how to debug this? I'm using version 0.55.1 from my Debian desktop and a server install on VPS/Cloudron.

OK then

Hi, sorry, I missed this. First thing I would try to look at is if the CSS is being loaded, check if there are anything like:

<link href="api/notes/[noteId]/download" rel="stylesheet">

If it's there, then it's probably selectors or something else not being applied correctly, debug using chrome/firefox dev inspector.

Thank you @zadam

In the page source, the CSS is being loaded, as well as the ckeditor stylesheet.

<link href="../libraries/ckeditor/ckeditor-content.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="api/notes/[noteId]/download" rel="stylesheet">

But in the Chrome browser inspector, I can see only "user agent stylesheet" and "ckeditor-content" being used.

Does this mean I need to look at Chrome settings to debug further? (same behavior in Firefox, fyi)

For reference, I'm using the CSS from @ysslang https://github.com/zadam/trilium/discussions/2681

Hmm, not sure what's up with that. I just tried to simulate this with the given CSS and it seems to apply correctly:

[anantone]

Oh, I'm quite ashamed of what I'm about to write, but for the sake of honesty; my CSS note was actually a text note. Now that the note type is "CSS", it works! Sorry for needlessly taking up your time...

All good, happy that you managed to resolve it.
