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

Rowan,

In 2.3 there is a checkbox for selecting styles that are referenced at 
view time for html format only.  Look at the use style option in the 
outline view.  You can also define a stylesheet to use in the designer 
and with the checkbox selected you can use your referenced style sheet 
at view time.
