Defining the Appearance of Links
You can customize the appearance of links, also known as hyperlinks and hypertext links. You can define the color and text decoration, such as underline, for the currently selected link (active link), links you have previously visited, links you hover over, and the links you have not previously visited. These link settings are stored in the
webworks.css file. You can create an override for the webworks.css file and then modify the tags that define the links.Note: These changes do not affect output formats that do not use cascading style sheets.
In your source files, apply a character style to identify the text to include in each link. The character style can also affect the appearance of the link.
To change the color of links

Manage Format Customizations or Manage Target Customizations.

Pages\css in this window. 3. Double click the
webworks.css file and it will be bolded to indicate that a customization has been created. 4. Double click again, and the CSS file should be opened in a text editor:

a:visited { color: #9999CC }
To modify the text color, specify the desired RGB color value for the color option of the appropriate link type and state.To add text decoration, such as an underline, add the text-decoration: underline; option to the type of link you want to have an underline, and add the text-decoration: none; option to the other types of link.To make the link text bold when you hover over the link, add the font-weight: bold; option to the a:link:hover definition. 6.

webworks.css file. 7. Save and close your project.
