<TheRunester> This is one of the most amazing examples of what's possible! Wow! I did not know that RAW tags could be used to include a custom CSS ... Cool. Very, very cool.

<Karasu> Heh, thanks. I was actually inspired by what I found over on KatsPage and I was curious to see if the RAW tag could handle links to CSS style sheets. Obviously it does, very well too. Which makes me wonder, Runester: How do you determine the appearance of the wiki pages? A HTML template? Specific code in the perl script? CSS? Just curious.

<TheRunester> A: the text and layout is part of the script that handles the wiki ... the colors and fonts are in a CSS.

<Karasu> Hmm. Did some more fiddling with the style sheets and was able to effect the "existingpagelink" class, although it still refuses to be any color than blue. Could have something to do with the order in which the classes are defined in the CSS file, since style sheets do use inheritance... Ah well I gave the "existingpagelink"s a black background to they'll stand out from the main background. I'll see if I can figure anything futher out later. Sorry Lxndr. ;)

<Lxndr> Check out the style tag on my page. But I like the black background stuff that you've set up right now, it looks really cool.

<TheRunester> I made some small changes to the style block you defined on this page, and I believe the link colors now reflect what you wanted. I hope this helps!

<Karasu> Thanks Runester! That works just great. I have to commend your willingness to take suggestions and improve the wiki since it's inception. Keep up the amazing work!
