[news.eclipse.birt] Re: How can I set a CSS class name for a report item

Günter,

What version of BIRT are you using?

In BIRT 2.3 you can reference and external style sheet in the report 
design.  Look at the use style right click context menu in the outline 
view.  There is a checkbox for including CSS file at view time.  This 
only applies to HTML output though.
