When I created a new project with Aspen theme, which I just purchased, on RapidWeaver 8.9.4, there is no “theme” styling for Html Code pages. It is plainly rendered html: black text on a white background is all there is. (A Markdown page I created had the correct styling, but, strangely, did not display raw html content. Markdown is supposed to be a superset of html, so that’s also weird.)
If I unselect “Use Master Style” and choose a “Page-specific Theme”, I still get unstyled html.
Strangely, if I go to the old version of my site that I created in an older version of RW, but with the project now converted and open in RW 8, I can change the “Page-specific Theme” to Aspen and see the theme!
Anybody have a guess what’s up there? I do not have Stacks – is that required for Aspen? I got the feeling it was needed for, well, for the Stack that comes with it, but not the rest.
(I’ve also noticed the Dexture theme goes wacky, with giant logo images and some other weirdness when opened in RW8, but I’ll leave that to another thread, I guess.)
It’s been a while since I’ve used RapidWeaver, but it certainly didn’t use you be plain HTML. In the past, HTML Code worked just like Markdown – whatever you entered would be interpreted as [HTML or Markdown, respectively] but couched inside of the template.
And, as I noticed, the old RW project, even after being upgraded to RW8, still has that same behavior. My HTML Code page has its code placed in the middle of the template’s display/chrome/whatever.
When you start a new project and add an html code page, you don’t see any styling? It’s simply black text on a white background?
This happens in both RW 8.9.3 and in RW 9.3.4 (RapidWeaver Classic), and regardless of the theme I pick.
I don’t usually use themes, and I figured this was always the default behavior.
Looks like you’re exactly right. My apologies for forgetting about that checkbox to apply the theme. Both are smart use cases – embed html into the current design (which is pretty much always what I’m doing) or say, “Nah, I think I’m going to go this page on my own.”
Apologies already for me in 2032 when I forget about it again.
