How to Define the Font for HTML export/output

HaCrLT

Dear folk using the great program Zettlr,

I tried for hours to get my exported HTML output to have sans-serif fonts instead of the default, but unfortunately I could not make it happen.
I tried to add some commands to the html.yaml file but nothing did the trick.

I read many advice about
pandoc, mainfont, css, ...

But all I got were errors stating "unknown option ...".

Did anybody else encounter this problem and found a solution?
Or does anybody have a dummy-proof solution in general?

Thanks for any help.

You need to save your CSS in a file (e.g. under Zettlr\data\html-custom.css), then add that file in the HTML.yaml by adding a line like

css: [C:\somepath\Zettlr\data\html-custom.css]

To use sans-serif fonts, just add this to the css file:

body {font-family: sans-serif;}

This will overwrite all the default styles, so it will not look good. To make it look nice again, fill out the css file more, e.g. with the template from here. There is also a way to get pandoc's default css, I can paste it here if you're interested.
