Today I discovered yet another workaround in XSite Pro that I doubt 99% of XSite Pro users have found. On the Web, blue, underlined text means a hyperlink. But in XSite Pro, the default colour for the links on parent pages (pages that list the sub-pages under them, e.g. a list of articles) are black. Yes, they are underlined, but especially when there’s a description under them (which is one of the choices with the sub-pages token), they don’t stand out as links at all. Well, today I solved that problem and proved to myself once again that persistence pays off!

You might think it sounds easy, just change the font colour or use a CSS class. No, it’s not that easy when there’s a token involved! In XSite Pro, some of the code is not accessible to a user or even to an experienced Web designer like myself, so I am often looking for ways to make XSite Pro do something that it was never meant to do. I have bent and twisted that software until it doesn’t know which end is up when I’m around!
