Thanks, Radu. That produced the change I need, though I limited the selector to th[style] and td[style]. I’m assuming that CSS declarations are acceptable content for the ‘style’ attribute based on the example in https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.2/attribute/style.html: <tr> <td style="background: lightgrey" colspan="7">Preschool</td> </tr> -- Michael R.

Oxygen uses CSS to render the JATS content in the Author visual editing mode. If for example you open the CSS "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/jats/lib/author-css/authoring-extension.css" CSS and add this selector to it: *[style]{ -oxy-style:attr(style); } then save your CSS and re-open your JATS file, Oxygen's visual editing should interpret the small CSS snippet value from any element which has a "style" attribute. But is this correct according to the standard? https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-kkw2.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-kkw2.html__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!5UqrygK3OTCVWUckqPixZjhgdhWr64We_KH3SmfdyV6hT0Iymy8clGtEVsrSv4uWqJbpsnY3eD-nYPKvVSl8mcSD$> with many of the elements within a NISO JATS table(<table><https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-by90.html__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!5UqrygK3OTCVWUckqPixZjhgdhWr64We_KH3SmfdyV6hT0Iymy8clGtEVsrSv4uWqJbpsnY3eD-nYPKvVdf-bzfM$>), records the name of the style to be applied to the element; The value of the @style attribute seems in the standard to indicate more a style name which should indicate the styling.

It doesn’t appear to be doing so. I’m using Oxygen 25.0 on macOS X 12.6. I’m creating tables using the JATS table model in a framework that uses CSS files copied from the JATSKit framework. When I add a style attribute like this— <td align="center" valign="bottom" style="border-bottom: solid thin black; border-right: solid thin black">X</td> —the rules I hope to see on the cell don’t appear. (For background: I’m creating tables in the JATS model by converting tables from the OASIS model. In the OASIS model, the <entry> element has ‘colsep’ and ‘rowsep’ attributes to make a rule appear on the right or bottom edge of the table cell. Since there are no direct analogues of those attributes in the JATS model <th> and <td> elements, I’m using the ‘style’ attribute instead.) -- Michael R.
