that's great, but how do I use it ?

I'm hoping to use .css as an html based screenwiting program using Composer.

I found a stylesheet but don't know how to impliment it or assign styles.

any suggestions ?
how does one learn to use CaScadeS ?

============================================================

<html>

<head>

<title></title>

<style>

<!--

.HEADING { text-transform: uppercase; page-break-after: avoid; 
font-family: Courier New }

.CHARACTER { text-transform: uppercase; margin-left: 5.69cm; 
margin-bottom: 0em; page-break-after: avoid; font-family: Courier New}

.Parenthesis { margin-left: 4.06cm; margin-right: 4.06cm; margin-top: 
0em; margin-bottom: 0em;page-break-after: avoid; page-break-inside: 
avoid; font-family: Courier New }

.Dialogue { margin-left: 2.51cm; margin-right: 2.51cm; margin-top: 0em;

Unfortunately, I am focusing on the code now and will write a light user 
doc when it's done, or at least advanced enough.

You can grab some clues from http://cascades.mozdev.org/screenshots.html.

I'm assuming that you have been able to define the style definitions and
create the syle sheet either internally or externally?

All the moment, there is no facility to apply your styles by, say selecting
some text and choosing 'Dialogue' from a menu. You can only apply the styles
by going into HTML Source mode and doing it there. But, to your make your
life a lot easier, here are some things you can do.

Instead of the style definitions you have defined, define the elements

Body { insert the default margins, text style and color for the page }

h2  { text-transform: uppercase; page-break-after: avoid; font-family:
Courier New } (to replace your HEADING style)

You could also define some of the other 'h' elements to cope with whatever
is appropriate - character etc.
