Please follow these steps to install those additional templates on macOS:
Note: Mac Template bundles are copied when installed. Any changes made to the original bundle will not be visible in iA Writer. You may modify the installed bundles: to find an installed bundle, right-click one in Preferences and select “Show in Finder”.
Users comfortable with code (CSS, HTML, and JS) can create custom templates tailored to their own tastes. For more on this please see our dedicated page: Custom Templates.
It is also possible to override some of the CSS for a selected template by adding an HTML style block in your document. In the example below, the code block modifies the font size in PDF rendering:
<style>
@media print {
body {
font-size: 25pt;
}
}
</style>
This solution is great for users who aren’t comfortable with code or those who just want to add a few changes (font size or font color for example), without creating a template.
You can see the code and CSS classes to target by enabling the Web Inspector in Preview.
