Hi June,

I guess that you're not talking about the actual buttons (which are images), but rather the pages linked to those buttons.

To change those pages, you will first need to set your desired class into your stylesheet.

For example:
.soustitre {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
color: #AA2E00;
line-height: 2.5;
vertical-align: middle;
}

Then in your collect.cfg file, you will create tags (such as <div> or <span>) that will use your class in every desired format strings.

For example:
format HList "<div class='soustitre'>[link][highlight][ex.Title][/highlight][/link]</div>"

If it's not enough to change all the desired text, you will have to modify some functions in the macros folder. This is a bit more confusing, but it can be done!

Good luck,

Jonathan Tremblay
