SID-00316: Change a single heading style in a single topic

I want to do some very minor style custimization. I would like to start very small and try making this style change in a single topic. I've read PatternSkin, PatternSkinCss, and PatternSkinCssCookbook topics but I'm still a little confused.

To start, I want to change the appearance of heading three (h3). I've done the following:

1. Created my own css file called abc.css.
2. I've attached this to my topic.
3. In my topic I have added

   * Set USERSTYLEURL = %ATTACHURL%/abc.css

Below is what is contained in my abc.css file.

<style type="text/css">
h3 { font-size:129%; font-weight:bold; text-indent:1cm; background-color:rgb(0,0,255) }
</style>

I've never written a css file before so I I'm not sure if I have the syntax correct. Can I change the style of heading three in this manner? I am not seeing any results. Thank you for your help!

Discussion and Answer

All you were missing is that you don't use <style> tags in an external style sheet, only an internal one (inside the HTML).

So here's how it's looks (view raw and the attachment for details):

Look at me, I'm an H3!

Thanks Sean for the quick answer! Are you suggesting this isn't the greatest work of art you have ever seen? I am offended! Nah, you are right. It looks like garbage. I'll change this.

Another critical point I finally picked up on. Those three little spaces in front of

   * Set USERSTYLEURL = %ATTACHURL%/abc.css

Thanks again! Our TWiki installation has been extremely helpful for our team.
