the whole book does not need to use a style sheet. You can edge in.
As to importing ' A style sheet':
Unless the 'Imported' sheet is designed to work on a tag level (sets a basic style), you are wasting effort.
So in you example, you could start with a 'New Stylesheet'
add the ONE selector:
Code:
.hideheader {text-align: center; display: none;}
Select ALL the HTML files you want to use this style in the Book Browser:
right-click: Link stylesheet: tick the box for the stylesheet: OK
Using Search and Replace: replace all the
Code:
style="text-align: center;"
with
Then slowly shift other styling over to the stylesheet..
Note: that if you move a style defined in the head of a document, be sure to remove it from there as it can override the stylesheet.
