Source makes use of a number of utility classes that are loaded via the Source Base stack. All of the Source stacks make use of this common code (e.g. for all the alignment options etc). If you are using third-party stacks (or the Source Coder stack) then you may wish to apply these classes manually.

This page contains a list of most of the available classes - along with a description where required. To apply these you would simply add the name of the desired class (or classes) into the Stacks 4 CSS classes box - or the equivalent box in certain specialist stacks.

NOTE: You can see a list of the more commonly required class names within RapidWeaver Edit mode by toggling the 'Show available classes' switch in the Source Base stack. Doing this will reveal the class names for most Source colours and also for any Container Base stacks that have been added to the page. There is also a Knowledge Base page specifically relating to using Source colours.
