CSS Styles Used By JCite

JCite emits HTML which relies on CSS styles for formatting the various syntactical elements of the cited Java source code. JCite comes with two different sample CSS stylesheets:

doc/plainstyle/style.css: A simple default CSS stylesheet for on-screen display of cited Java code. This file gives a good overview of the different elements you can format.
doc/plainstyle/printstyle.css: A simple alternate CSS stylesheet for printing cited Java code. Modern browsers (like, for example, Firefox) automatically switch to a print media stylesheet for printing if one is specified (see below for how to do this). This documentation also has a print media style. So go ahead, open the print preview now! :)

To test the plain styles, open this sample page.

HTML Docs

The provided style sheets can be referenced as-is in your own HTML files like, for example:

<html>
<head>
  ...
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="style.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="printstyle.css" />
  ...
</head>
...
</html>

You can also copy/paste them into your own stylesheets, and adjust the formatting as you please. This is what I did to format this documentation itself.

JavaDoc

When using JCite with JavaDoc, you have to instruct JavaDoc to include a reference to a particular stylesheet in the HTML files in generates. Please see the JCite with JavaDoc documentation for details.
