Pseudo classes to be deleted as unused classes

Leonatus · 09-23-2018, 06:21 AM

I worked out a book using a pseudo-class of this type:

Code:

.initial:first-letter	{
	font-family: FoglihtenNo04;
  font-size: 55px;
  line-height: 40px;
  color: #FFF;
  background-color: #8342F4;
  float: left;
  padding: 20px 20px 10px 15px;
  margin: 4px 10px 0 0;
}

leaving to a text style as shown in the jpg annex.
Choosing "Tools"->"Delete unused stylesheet-classes", shows the above mentioned stye as unused and to be deleted. This will eventually delete the whole style.

If I run epubcheck and w3c css validator, my style is not rejected, however, and the style also works on my reader. Is this a bug in Sigil?

AFAIK, Delete Unused Stylesheet Classes can't handle pseudo selectors. You might want to you use the cssRemoveUnusedSelectors plugin instead, which won't delete pseudo selectors.

Thank you! I didn't even know about this plugin. For the moment, my problem is already solved by simply letting the css untouched. My guess was that I might commit an undue action by using the style.
