#Using styles in word 2007 code
You can put the following code in your theme, preferably in functions.php, so that it is available to all templates in the theme. Getting the category as slugs, and not as links, is not directly supported in WordPress today. The best way to leverage this is to use the WordPress category slugs as CSS classes or IDs, and define styling for them in the CSS. I have omitted other code from typical templates to keep the space clean. Here the CSS class post defines what styles will be applied to the post. WordPress lets us control the styles purely in CSS, and the connector between the HTML code and the styles is the corresponding CSS class or ID. This can escalate to a severe performance problem if the number of categories increase. Everytime an if-else is executed, processor cycles are spent in taking the decision. The only problem is that this can cause performance problems in future. It is quite easy to know if a post is classified in a specific category using in_category($category_id).Įverything is available and it is very tempting to use this. Of course, you know the categories, you have the post and you have the if-else PHP command using which you can create different HTML code as per categories. You can make this metadata more visible by styling the posts differently by categories – like a different background color or different icons or bigger font size. The categories contribute to the reason why WordPress suitable for so many non-blog web sites. This metadata can be from multiple aspects, e.g., using the category open source to convey that the post is on that subject or using the category feature to indicate that this is a researched feature as against a random post. Why Categories?Ĭategories are the metadata, they give you information about the post. This article is about styling WordPress posts differently using the categories they are classified under. It lets you do things at a much lesser cost, not necessarily money, but time and effort too, as compared to others. Once the style is used in the document, even if you go back and change what is shown in the task pane, the Hide Until Used style, since it is now used, will appear.One of the reasons WordPress fits so many bills is its flexibility. The styles you previously marked as Hide Until Used now show up in the Styles task pane and can be applied in your document, as desired. Using the Select Styles to Show drop-down list, choose All Styles.Word displays the Style Pane Options dialog box. Click the Options link at the bottom of the Styles task pane.Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display the Styles task pane.In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, type the name for your style (Question) and click OK. However, despite this, many assume that the default settings (which are, for some reason, large and blue) are the only Styles available. Word will display the dialog shown in Figure 2. The Styles ribbon (the bar of styling options at the top of the page) has been present in every version of Word since 2007.

Right-click and choose Styles Save Selection as a New Quick Style. Place the insertion point in a paragraph in Normal style. If you want to later see the style you just hid (so that you really can use it), all you need to do is follow these steps: Example of Question, Answer, and Answer Continue styles. Word now displays the styles list in the Styles task pane according to your selections. The style remains on the list with the addition of Hide Until Used at the end of the name. Select the style that you are not using.The Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog box. Make sure the Recommend tab is displayed.The Manage Styles tool at bottom of the Styles Task Pane. (This button is at bottom of Styles task pane it looks like the letter A with a check mark next to it.) Word displays the Manage Styles dialog box. If you hide a style and later discover that you need to use it, just go back to the Style Pane Options dialog box, select the style that you want to use and click on Show. This option makes it easier to manage the formatting of a project without deleting a style that will be used in a future document. Hide Until Used allows you to hide any style that is not being used at the current time. The Hide Until Used option is located in the Recommend tab in the Manage Styles dialog box that is in the Styles Window ( Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S). The styles list can become long, however, and you might not need to use every style in every document. Using styles within a template is a great tool for creating consistent formatting within one or more documents. If he marks a style as hidden, it doesn't show up in the styles list, so how can it be used? Philip is revising a long styles list in a template and came across the Hide Until Used feature in the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog box.
