SimplyClassyCSS - A collection of beautiful and classy CSS styles suitable for simple renderers such as Java Swing's

Usage

SimplyClassyCSS is a collection of beautiful and classy CSS styles suitable for simple renderers such as Java Swing's. Designed for beauty and readability.

SimplyClassyCSS is also conceived to be highlighting-friendly: it features special CSS classes for highlighting and emphasizing text. Thus, with a HTML syntax such as my_text your text is highlighted. Other classes for basic colors are defined: simply-blue , simply-green , etc.

SimplyClassyCSS features different styles (e.g “Spacious”).

For each style, different color schemes may be supported (e.g “Standard”, “Gruvbox”).

For each color scheme, light or dark mode (or both) are supported.

Set-up

Check out the Gallery and select your preferred CSS. Download it.
Configure your software/environment to use that CSS.
Check the required fonts listed in the screenshot and install any missing ones. All fonts are free Google fonts, and can be obtained from: https://fonts.google.com/.
After installing the fonts, restart the software where you will be using the CSS.

Styled Paragraphs and Sections

When using any of the SimplyClassyCSS styles, text inside special  tags becomes highlighted. Additionally, special  tags draw styled boxes around your paragraphs. Very useful for studying, analyzing or creating emphasis on texts. The syntax is:

Styled Paragraphs and Section

Extra: Automatic styling scripts

The groovy scripts SpanHighlighter and BoxedParagraph wrap selected text in a JTextComponent (Java Swing) with the desired syntax.

Use in Freeplane

To use in Freeplane: after setting up the CSS style (see guide here), install the scripts, select the text you’d like to emphasize, and call the desired script: the appropriate tags will be inserted automatically. A brief explanation on how to use each script:

SpanHighlighter Script
Freeplane Tip! You can use the SpanHighlighter script to automatically surround the text you’d like to highlight with my_text. The default is the yellow color. You can change the color simply by changing the class attribute. The script gets installed in the menu Format -> Highlight -> Span Highlighter. Suggestion: for quick access, assign the ctrl + shift + H shortcut to the script. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL GUIDE

BoxedParagraph Script
Freeplane Tip! You can use the BoxedParagraph script to automatically surround the paragraph you’d like to enclose in a box with my_paragraph. The default is blue dotted box. You can change it by modifying the class attribute. The script gets installed in the menu Format -> Highlight -> Boxed Paragraph. Suggestion: for quick access, assign the ctrl + shift + P shortcut to the script. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL GUIDE
