    Hello again,

    I have another question concerning epub export.

    When exporting to ePub 2 from Indesign CC 2015.4, the colored background of paragraph styles (like titles) are not shown on Adobe Digital Edition or else, it disapears.

    I am actually using the “Paragraph net” Indesign option just under the “Tabulations” one (maybe the translation is not perfect) and it works perfectly for print books.

    So i am obliged to modify the CSS file in order to indicate the background, and it works.

    But is there a direct way to avoid modifying the CSS file ?

    Below is what i am obliged to write to every title styles, witch is a bit annoying…

    display: inline-block;
    background: #e19e3b;
    color:#ffffff;
    padding: 3px;

    Thanks for any help.

    I’m not sure how or what order InDesign exports style sheets in, but one work around that might work is saving that CSS in a custom stylesheet and importing it when you need it on export. Anyway I havent tried it, but thought it might work.

      Hello Aaron, thanks a lot for your answer and advice.

      If i understand well, i would have to save this code on a css file (say “custom.css”), then add it to the main Indesign css file (idGeneratedStyles.css) when exporting to ePub.

      But how can i say to this custom.css file to make changes ONLY to some titles styles of the main css file (like “Title 1”, or “Title-with-background” for example) ?

      Do you know the right “syntax” ?

      Best regards.
