<p>Hello,</p>
<p>right now I'm using BIRT API 4.4 to generate rptdesign files. The Styles I need are generated via StyleHandle, which works fine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To be more flexible I want to <strong>use an external CSS file to style the report</strong> to be generated. As far as I now one can add an external CSS file via API.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have some questions about this topic:</p>
<ol><li>what is the correct API call, when I start from ReportDesignHandle?</li>
<li>how to reference any BIRT element to the styles given inside the CSS file? Do I just use the CSS-class names?</li>
<li>what set of CSS and CSS3 attributes supported for BIRT reports?</li>
<li>is this set of CSS and CSS3 attributes available for every export format (for example HTML, PDF, etc)?</li>
<li>will the CSS file be included inside a generated PDF output? Or will it just link to the CSS file url?</li>
</ol><p>Sorry, but I couldn't find some documentation especially for (3) and (4).</p>
<p>Can you please point me to the document pages, please!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Michael</p>
