(Lack of) Kupu CSS Styles, Plone and Deliverance

// under css deliverance editor kupu plone static style theme

Note: see this post for up-to-date details.

Essentially, the issue is that Deliverance doesn’t theme (and rightly so) the Kupu editor within Plone and hence any styles applied to normal pages by Deliverance don’t show up.  My workaround, as detailed on that post, is to customise the “emptypageresources” page template and include a suitable link to the CSS file, like so:

<link href="site.css" type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet" tal:attributes="href string:${context/@@plone_portal_state/navigation_root_url}/static/theme/site.css;" />

(changing the tal:attributes section accordingly).  This should introduce perfectly correct styles for your editor from your Deliverance (or other) static theme.

This feels to be a very common use case, but I can’t seem to find any other suggestions on a workaround/solution. I’d have to think that this is likely to be a widespread issue, though. It’s definitely not something that should happen if we’re actually able to have the WYSIWYG editor be WYSIWYG (unlike some other CMS products).
