You can use the HTML Styles palette to save formatted text as custom styles and then apply the styles to other text. The HTML Styles palette also lets you create new styles based on formatting options you choose or HTML attributes and values you type. You can save styles for paragraphs or inline text, and specify whether to supplement or replace existing formatting when you apply the styles to text. You can also share a set of HTML styles with others working on the same site project.
The HTML Styles palette is useful for quickly adding structure to your text that cascading style sheets can then refer to. You can set up a page of text, format it with headings, default lists, block indents, and structural attributes for inline text (such as the emphasis element) and save them in the HTML Styles palette. You can export them from the palette as their own set in an XML file and then import them when you want to use the set. Then you can save the page as stationery or a page template (see Using page templates and Using stationery) that opens whenever you want to create a new page (see Setting preferences for opening pages).
