Input Data Reference
Stylesheets
Contents
Description
Stylesheets provide a way of customising the appearance of invoices or quotes when they are displayed in a web browser, or rendered to PDF. Because templates can specify any arbitrary HTML structure that the user desires, stylesheets will typically be designed for compatibility with a specific template or a set of conventions that one or more templates adhere to.
It is worth noting that templates may opt to ignore stylesheets altogether by not including the {{ css }} template tag. If you are encountering issues whereby the CSS from a stylesheet is not being honoured, be sure to check that the template you are using actually includes the stylesheet CSS in its output.
