Using CSS files

[mflevine]

The current issue is relative links, in general, are not being handled. There some code in the core for handling relative links in HTML rendering but it also strips out the javascript.

So if I understand you right, I can use external CSS if I do not need Javascript? If yes, can you give me a hint how to do so / where to find the said code?

[mflevine]

Sorry I think I misunderstood your question. You can use external CSS as long as you give the full path to the CSS file. Relative URLs are not currently supported.
You can do this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans'>

Ok now I got it. Thanks for the explanation.

So refering to a css style which lies within my Jupyter Lab tree should look like this?

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='http://localhost:8888/lab/tree/styles.css'>

[mflevine]

Jupyter hosts the file server under localhost:port/files so I think it would be:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='http://localhost:8888/files/styles.css'>
Although it might autoredirect.

It works with the solution in your last comment. Thank you very very much 👍 ,
