Removing colour of anchor text?
 

Hi there,
I have created some links between different parts of my book but when I open my Sigil epub in iBooks, the text I have linked to is coloured blue so it looks like a link. Is there a way to stop this happening?
Just to clarify I am not talking about the link itself but rather the object of the link.
Thanks!

Use <span> instead of <a>, or set "a {color:inherit}" in the CSS.

Thanks for your reply Jellby. I'm afraid you'll have to be patient with me as I don't know much about this. I haven't created a CSS file, I have just done everything automatically in Sigil. The only CSS file is the TOC one.
Could I alter the anchor CSS inline as I only have a few links or can you tell me how to simply create a CSS file with this code in it that won't affect existing settings?

What you are doing (inline styles) will work

But it will say 'Amateur' :o to anyone who looks at your code AND will be harder to maintain (update)

the CSS concept is very simple: Put all the (documents with a common stylistic theme) style definitions in a single place :thumbsup: and add a link to that place in each file.

Look at the gold colored section of your chapter file: (Ignore the fact that Sigil assigns SCC #s by first use on a per-file basis :( for the moment)

That is what should move to the stylesheet (delete the <style> tags) and link the stylesheet (right-click the documents filename:Link...) to the file(s)


While I don't really recommend working on a huge monolithic (all content) file (way to easy to really blow it :eek: ), you could:

1. create your complete work, inserting Sigil split MARKERS in the proper places, as a single file.
2a. (optional) Global rename the style names (SGC#) in the <style> section to a friendly/meaningful usage name. eg CO, FP, CN, TX (I like short names :D)
2b. Move the <style> section to a stylesheet and link the stylesheet
3.Only NOW, Execute the Split at markers (F6) command. All the SGC#s will be common to all those pieces which would NOT be the case if they were created on a per file styling use).
4. check the results visually :thumbsup:
5)ship it :D
