WebStyles are closely associated with WebTemplates, providing a means by which one can apply stylesheets to their pages. Using this system allows for a consistent styling across pages (or a subset of pages), since they would all speak to a certain WebStyle. Note also that despite being intended for CSS styling, they can contain any data, meaning the system could be used for other types of documents. == Fields == === Code === The Code field is the unique identifier by which a given WebStyle is accessed. This should be somewhat descriptive, since it must be referenced via other pages, but it is recommended to keep it short and sweet. === Description === An arbitrary field by which one can give a description for the WebStyle. It is non-functional, but provides a reference on top of the code for humans to identify the purpose or contents of the WebStyle. == How To Use == Once you have created a [[PRS/WebTemplate|WebTemplate]], you can pull in stylesheets through the WebDatabaseInterface class. Simply call <code>WebDatabaseInterface.GetStylesheet(code)</code>, which returns an object of type <code>WebStyle</code>. This class has an attribute named <code>Style</code>, which contains the raw text from the WebStyle. Thus, to load and apply a style, put this markup in the <code><head></code> tag of your template: <pre> <style> @(WebDatabaseInterface.GetStylesheet("EXAMPLE").Style) </style> </pre> === Loading Multiple Stylesheets === Since each call to <code>GetStylesheet</code> results in a request to the database, it can be beneficial to load multiple stylesheets at once. This is made possible with the <code>GetStylesheets</code> function, as demonstrated: <pre> Dictionary<string, WebStyle> styles = WebDatabaseInterface.GetStylesheets("FIRST", "SECOND"); <style> @(styles["FIRST"].Style) @(styles["SECOND"].Style) </style> </pre>
