Company CSS

The company CSS is a plain CSS file. It holds fonts, colours, the logo and the hyphenation settings. A template gets it with <link rel="stylesheet" href="company.css"> or with @import.

Brevier loads the files the template names and does not search folders. A file that does not exist is skipped without a message. A file that exists and cannot be read is an error.

Hyphenation properties

Set the properties on :root.

:root {
  --brevier-hyphenate-language: de;
  --brevier-hyphenate-never: "Wüstenrot, Württembergische";
  --brevier-hyphenate-teach: "Berufs=unfähigkeits=versicherung";
}

• Write the whole list in one pair of quotes: "A, B". Quotes around each word break the list.
• A word in never or teach matches the written word exactly, including capital letters.
• In a teach entry, each = marks a place where the word may break. A = must be at least 3 characters from each end of the word, and no part between two = may be empty. An entry that breaks a rule fails, and the message names the entry.

Order of the files

Brevier reads the files in order, and each @import at its place in the file.

• Hyphenation properties: the last declaration read wins, whatever its specificity, and it replaces the whole value. The lists are not merged.
• Fonts, colours and all other rules: the normal CSS cascade. A higher specificity wins. At equal specificity the later rule wins.

A file for a region can sit between the template and the company file:

invoice.html   <link href="invoice.css">
invoice.css    @import "../german.css";
german.css     @import "../company.css";
company.css    fonts and colours for all documents

invoice.css beats german.css, and german.css beats company.css, because each @import line is the first line of its file.

How hyphenation works is in German typography.
