Trouble rendering Css Data in Django? - css

Question

So I'm trying to export a section of a website to PDF, and I'm able to output the HTML data properly, but the CSS codes just appears as text in the PDF.

Again, the HTML is fine. IT's just the css part that doesn't render. It outputs the actual CSS codes to PDF.

Answer 1

If you've setup your CSS as such:
<style type="text/css">
body {
color:#fff;
}
</style>
Try wrapping your css with comments:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
color:#fff;
}
-->
</style>
This will force the CSS as a comment and thus won't render. Since I can't see how your code is rendered this is just a guess but let me know if it does indeed work :)
