MyScript iink SDK makes it easy to style content with css properties listed in this page. In addition to these css styling properties, you can adjust its default configuration with different options presented here.

Restrictions from CSS

The following restrictions apply:

Only a limited subset of CSS properties is supported.
Supported types are different from regular CSS types (e.g. type selectors like h1, p or div are not supported).
The default unit is mm and properties provided with an explicit unit will be ignored.
Keywords such as inherit, initial or unset are not supported.
Universal selector (*) and combinators are not supported.
Possibilities to express colors are constrained.

Type hierarchy

MyScript iink SDK exposes the following type hierarchy:

ink - Groups all the types described below:
- stroke - Handwritten strokes only.
- glyph - Converted text glyphs.
- line - Converted lines, e.g. obtained when converting a diagram.
- arc - Converted elliptical arcs, ellipses and circles.
- guide - Text guides.

It is possible to combine class and type selectors:

glyph.text {}
line.diagram {}
arc.diagram {}

Available classes per content type

Diagram block

Class	Description
`.diagram`	Default class for items in a “Diagram” content block.
`.diagram-anim-fill`	Style applied to fill diagram shapes when `diagram.recognition.feedback` is set to `animation-fill`.
`.diagram-fill`	Style applied to fill diagram shapes when `diagram.recognition.feedback` is set to `background-fill`.
`.diagram-guideline`	Style applied to the diagram alignment guides.
`.diagram-handle`	Style applied to the diagram selection handles.

Drawing block

Class	Description
`.drawing`	Default class for items in a “Drawing” content block.

Math block

Class	Description
`.math`	Default class for items in a “Math” content block.
`.math-variable`	Style applied to the variables after ink conversion.
`.math-solved`	Style applied to the glyphs that are generated by the solver.

Text block

Class	Description
`.text`	Default class for items in a “Text” content block.
`.text-heading1`	Style of text headings of level 1 (Text Document only).
`.text-heading2`	Style of text headings of level 2 (Text Document only).
`.text-emphasis1`	Style of text emphasis type 1 (Text Document only).
`.text-emphasis2`	Style of text emphasis type 2 (Text Document only).
`.text-highlight`	Style of highlighted text.

The behavior in a “Text Document” part is as follows:

Underlining an entire paragraph of text or setting programmatically the text format of a selection allows you to cycle through text-heading1 (double underline), text-heading2 (simple underline) and basic text (no underline).
Underlining a portion of text allows you to cycle through text-emphasis1 (simple underline), text-emphasis2 (double underline) and basic text (no underline).
Circling over a portion of text allows you to apply text-highlight, circling again removes it.

Raw Content

The following classes apply to both Raw Content parts and blocks:

Class	Description
`.raw-content`	Default class for items in a “Raw Content” block/part.
`.raw-content-grid`	Default class of the “Raw Content” block/part background grid, when the `text-document.raw-content.line-pattern`/`raw-content.line-pattern` is `grid`.

Whereas the following classes are specific to Raw Content parts:

Class	Description
`.raw-content-anim-fill`	Sets how shapes should be filled when `raw-content.recognition.feedback` is set to `animation-fill`.
`.raw-content-fill`	Sets how shapes should be filled.
`.raw-content-shape`	Default class for shape items in a “Raw Content” part.
`.raw-content-text`	Default class for text blocks in a “Raw Content” part.
`.raw-content-drawing`	Default class for non text and/or not shape items in a “Raw Content” part. See details below.

The recognition feedback via styling in a Raw Content part behaves as follows:

To apply .raw-content-anim-fill styling class, iink needs you to both activate the raw-content.recognition.shape property and sets the raw-content.recognition.feedback property to animation-fill.
To apply .raw-content-fill styling class, iink needs you to both activate the raw-content.recognition.shape property and sets the raw-content.recognition.feedback property to background-fill.
To apply .raw-content-shape, .raw-content-text and .raw-content-drawing styling classes, iink needs you to activate the raw-content.feedback.type. Then, according to raw-content.recognition.shape value:

if raw-content.recognition.shape is disabled, .raw-content-text styling properties will apply to text blocks and raw-content-drawing to the rest of the content.
if raw-content.recognition.shape is enabled, .raw-content-text styling properties will apply to text blocks, .raw-content-shape to shape items and raw-content-drawing to the rest of the content.

The raw-content.feedback.type should be activated for debug purpose only.

Note that “Text” and “Text Document” guides spacings are not identical.

For “Text” parts, the spacing of handwriting guides (if enabled) is given by font-size * line-height.
For “Text Document” parts, the guides spacing considers the font-size and line-height product too. But some more computation adjusts the line gap.

For instance, the following CSS will correspond to a 13-millimeter spacing when the theme is set to a “Text” part. For a “Text Document” part, the example is still valid but the outcome might be slightly different.

.text {
  font-size: 10;
  line-height: 1.3;
}

In both cases, to avoid visual artifacts, you should change the editor theme before opening the part.
