Custom stylesheet not being used?

kg4zow opened this issue · comments

Using ReText 8.0.0 under Debian 12.1 (installed from a Debian repo).

I use a custom stylesheet, maybe 25 lines long, which adds horizontal lines above H1, H2, and H3 elements, to serve as a visual separation between sections when somebody reads a rendered file. I've noticed that ReText apparently only uses the custom stylesheet for "Export to HTML", however I'm used to also seeing them when I'm working on a file (using "MacDown" for macOS), and I need the custom stylesheet to be used when exporting to PDF.

The only related setting I could find in the GUI is the button to select the stylesheet file - I don't see anything like "use stylesheet for live preview".

Am I missing something here?

If not, how hard would it be to use the custom stylesheet for Live Preview and "Export to PDF"?

ReText does use the stylesheet for preview and export to PDF.

If it doesn't work, try enabling the WebEngine renderer (requires python3-pyqt6.qtwebengine Debian package). The standard renderer only supports a subset of CSS, while Qt WebEngine supports everything as a normal browser supports.
