Working with topics
2 Do one of the following:
• Right-click in the Design Editor and select Add To > Master Pages.
• Select File > Add To Master Pages
All the content in the topic is wrapped in the body placeholder. After you add a topic to a master page, any new topic
created from this master page includes its body placeholder content.
When topics are associated with a master page, the style sheet, header, and footer of the master page override style
properties of the topic. You can edit or change the CSS of a topic later.
Note: Use the Topic Properties option to change the master page associated with a topic.

Formatting master pages
When you generate or preview a layout, border and shading properties of the master pages override border and
shading properties of topics. If the properties do not conflict, they are applied independently. For example, if you set
border properties for a master page, and background color for a topic, the final output topic has both applied to it.
