Step 5: Now all that is left to do is to complete 3 pages by adding and styling content. Create a subfolder ‘text’ within the folder called ‘Spotlite’ and click on the 'files' button or follow this link to download the text files, 5 in total, to your text folder. It will help if you read your notes on inserting text files and 'cascading style sheets' before you attempt the next step.

CSS: Create a cascading style sheet

  • Create an external style sheet and name it spotlite.css
  • Redefine the H1 and H2 heading styles and create a new style 'spotlite' as follows:
  • Save the style sheet

H1 {
font-size: 26pt;
font-family: "Lucida Handwriting", "Lucida Sans";
color: #FFCC00;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline;
text-align: center;
}

H2 { font-size: 14pt;
font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
color: #3399FF;
font-weight: bold;
}

.spotlite {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
font-size: 11px;
background-color: #FFE88A;
border: thick groove #3399FF;
padding: 10px;

}
