Short version: Breadcrumbs in CHM files do not display the styles I've configured in RH.
Long version:
- Am running RH11.
- Working in an HTML project, generating a CHM for output.
- I have a Master Page for the project, in which I have generated a breadcrumb placeholder. I removed the formatting code from the placeholder, so what I have left looks like this:
- <?rh-placeholder type="breadcrumbs" ph-align="0" sep-char=">" home="Home" usetopicformat="0" ph-style="" ?>
- This Master Page refers to the default CSS file: <link rel="StyleSheet" href="default.css" type="text/css" />
- Each topic uses this Master Page.
- Via the Project Manager, I double-click the default.css file in order to modify the appearance of the breadcrumbs. I make changes via these settings:

- Upon saving this, RH places the following code into the default.css file. *Note (below) that it fails to specify the font I've selected - odd.
a.breadcrumbs:link {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #808080;
}
a.breadcrumbs:visited {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #808080;
}
a.breadcrumbs:focus {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #808080;
}
a.breadcrumbs:hover {
font-size: 8pt;
}
a.breadcrumbs:active {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #808080;
}
Issue: Upon generating the CHM file, the breadcrumbs are present and functional, which suggests to me that the Master Page is being administered correctly. However, none of the style settings I've specified for breadcrumbs get applied. Instead, the breadcrumbs adopt the same styling as the 'normal' style, as if to suggest that the breadcrumb style definitions in the default.css are being ignored. Note that if I manually-modify other styles within the default.css, such as the 'p' style, the changes are reflected in the output - i.e. I'm satisfied that I'm tweaking the correct css file. ...so why don't my breadcrumbs adopt the style(s) I've specified?
