19.14. Fonts and layout

Output appearance is controlled with a combination of CSS style and tag attributes. CSS style attributes flow from parent to child, and let you use one tag to apply all attributes defined for that tag in the styleClass and style sheets.
If you have format masks or fonts that use special characters, such as spaces and semicolons, you can escape the CSS string with '' characters such as xls-format-mask:'$;$'.
