Some css are automatically removed by Editor

Dear Kovid,

The Editor seems to remove all css items related to :root

Let's say I have this:

Code:

:root {
  --margin-top: 0.5em;
  --magin-bottom: 8em;
}

div.x {
 margin-top: var(--margin-top);
}

div.y {
  margin-bottom: var(--margin-bottom);
}

they are all removed upon Editor opening the epub.

works fine for me, you probably have the auto beatify setting enabled. :root is not supported by the library used for beautification.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks.

Dear Kovid,

I think the Editor supports :root but not the viewer (?). Please see the attachment when you have a moment. There are two issues there, (i) :root and (ii) border-image. I don't know why the viewer doesn't show the svg border image in the second file, while Editor does.

Switch the viewer to flow mode, it might work there, but it is never going to work in paged mode. And why are you using :root anyway, it's a synnym for html anyway.

In certain ebooks there are several "color, background-color" values, nothing fancy, just various shades, :root helps to control them better. Anyway, the :root is respected in User Styles.

How about the svg border-image? I wonder why the second page doesn't show it while the first with no problem.

Because paged mode splits up the view using CSS columns, applying anything to the entire document is meaningless in paged mode.
