At the risk of getting a couple of down votes, I have to ask this after spending a few hours this afternoon trying to unravel the css of the bookdown html document that I am working on. For the life of me I just cannot figure out the selectors to use to increase the max-width of the main text area of the bookdown document. I am working with some content that would really benefit from using more of my large monitors.
My latest attempt to get the specificity that I need is a custom css file that contains:
.book .book-body.fixed .body-inner .page-wrapper .page-inner .normal .section .level1 .unnumbered {
max-width: 1200px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
I have tried numerous combinations of selectors and I just can't get that max-width to budge from the 800px default.
For testing purposes, here is an example bookdown document.
Try this:
.book .book-body .page-wrapper .page-inner {
max-width: 1200px !important;
}

I know this may seem like a very simple question, but please understand I know very little about CSS.
Essentially, I have a responsive website with two columns. I want to add an ad on the right for Desktop, and one of the left for Mobile. So far so good, I only have to copy and adapt the code they provide on their website, and this did work for mobile, hiding the ad:
<style type="text/css">
.adslot_1 { display:inline-block; width: 320px; height: 50px; }
#media (max-width: 400px) { .adslot_1 { display: none; } }
</style>
<ins class="adsbygoogle adslot_1"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-1234"
data-ad-slot="5678"></ins>
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script>
However, how can I adapt this for desktop? I assumed all I had was to change the max-width: 400px to min-width, but it doesn't seem to be working at all... any ideas on why, and how can I fix it?
In many cases scripts that insert content dynamically tend to modify the element's inline CSS properties and that usually overrides the style definitions, because of specificity. You can learn more on specificity in CSS on MDN.
What I would recommend you to do is to add !important to your style definition to see if that does hide the element. Your style should look something like: (I added some extra info to the #media query.
.adslot_1 {
display:inline-block;
width: 320px;
height: 50px;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.adslot_1 {
display: none !important;
}
}
What you could also do is open your browser's inspect tools (developer tools) and inspect that specific element to see which styles are being applied and also check that based on media query.
In my class we are starting to use Media Queries and I am having a little trouble with an assignment. For a previous assignment we were tasked with remaking a website called "the Toast" as best we could, which I have here. Now for this assignment we are to use media query to do a few things:
This assignment is all about media queries and getting your site to be
responsive. We will be using the website The toast again for this
assignment. You will be laying out two columns for the content area.
When the screen size hits 960px the right column must disappear. The
articles in the left column must adjust to the width of the screen.
The images must get bigger and fill the article at 960 px as well.
At 760 px the support us button, love the toast text and the social
media must disappear.
In the code I have two columns, a "bigColumn" and a "adColumn". Now to my understanding to make the adcolumn disappear and adjust the bigColumn I simply have to add:
#media only screen and (max-width: 960px) {
.main {
.bigColumn {
width: 100%;
}
.adColumn {
display: none;
}
}
}
However this is not working. The ad never disappears and the rest of the content doesn't do anything in terms of filling the rest of the page when shrinking the window. If I change the background color in the .main the color changes, but changing anything in the two divs has no effect that I can see. I can get the social media icons to disappear at 760px just fine, so am I just missing something with the media query for the columns? Or could something else be interfering with it?
EDIT: Guess I should mention that yes, I am indeed using SASS in the project.
Here is the styling I have for the columns before I started the media query:
.main {
width: 90%;
display: flex;
min-height: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
//column for main-page content
.bigColumn {
width: 800px;
height: 100%;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 9%;
margin-left: 13%;
}
.adColumn {
margin-top: 20px;
position: relative;
min-height: 120px;
}
}
I don't believe you can nest your CSS like that unless you are using a preprocessor like LESS or SASS. Try taking the .bigColumn CSS out of the .main brackets and leave it on its own.
#media only screen and (max-width: 960px) {
.bigColumn {
width: 100%;
}
.adColumn {
display: none;
}
}
Based on your css I think you're close, but there appears to be a an error in the way you've structured your css. Give this a try. I'm assuming .bigColumn and .adColumn are children of .main:
/* All screens 960px or less */
#media only screen and (max-width: 960px) {
.main .bigColumn {
width: 100%;
}
.main .adColumn {
display: none;
}
}
I'm trying to create a word cloud type output with only CSS. Basically, I have a div box and a X number of text elements which need to go inside the box. However, they need to be of different font size. For example, let's say I have this:
.box { display: flex; width: 40vw; height: 30vw; overflow: hidden; }
.text1 { font-size: 5vw; }
.text2 { font-size: 4vw; }
.text3 { font-size: 3.5vw; }
.text4 { font-size: 3vw; }
I can position the text elements inside the box but I have a few questions regarding the layout. My lack of thorough CSS knowledge prevents me from telling if this is possible at all with just CSS or not:
How can I avoid collision of the text elements?
How can I ensure they stay within the boundaries of the box?
I believe it's not possible to make Word Cloud using CSS only, you need to have Javascript function or lib like WordCloud2.js that handle element positioning.

I'm trying to widen the output of rmarkdown to html. I've been trying this solution with no success (although I'm using the cerulean theme, that should be responsive according to comments). Also tried adding a css element as described here - no effect.
How can I make this work?
Create a file styles.css with your styles:
<style>
.main-container {
width: 100%;
max-width: unset;
}
</style>
And include it in your rmarkdown as described here:
---
output:
html_document:
css: styles.css
---
Both options work for me.
The answer above didn't work so I spent a bunch of time sorting this out. It seems you can no longer just dump raw CSS into the rmarkdown document and have it be properly included.
This solution worked for me. Note that I had to modify the max width of both the body and the main container, this is placed as a block right after the yaml header.
```{css, echo=FALSE}
body .main-container {
max-width: 1280px !important;
width: 1280px !important;
}
body {
max-width: 1280px !important;
}
```

I can't find any references for the the various properties that need to be modified, I figured everything out from the Chrome developer console.
I've built a page using Wordpress, and am now trying to modify is using CSS. I want to remove the top padding from a particular element on my page. After inspecting the culprit element (using Chrome-->Inspect Element), I see that it has a class of .content-area and a top-padding of 72px. Here is the relevant CSS info yielded by inspect element:
.content-area, .content-sidebar {
padding-top: 72px;
}
However, when I insert the following into my style.css:
.content-area{
padding-top: 0px;
}
the padding remains. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong, or how to resolve?
sometime time this property can be inherited by parent class so you can try to this code
.content-area, .content-sidebar {
padding-top: 72px !important;
}
Thanks all. I changed the CSS to:
#media screen and (min-width: 846px) {
.content-area {
padding-top: 5px;
}
}
and the padding disappeared. Other media queries in CSS aren't as intuitive, but at least this works for now.
