Topic: rendering-styleSensitive = check every value?
Paul Lynch (Sep 30 2019 at 22:44):
Suppose rendering-styleSenstitive is set on root, and also that Questionnaire.url has an unexpected (for SDC) rendering-style extension. Would an SDC client even be expected to notice the rendering-style extension sitting on Questionnaire.url?
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 30 2019 at 23:08):
I think so. The extension isn't tied to any particular SDC profile, so the expectation would be to search for style extensions anywhere in the instance.

While we're talking about style, I notice that the extension http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/extension-rendering-style.html permits putting the explicit style on for an item to be rendered with, is there an equivalent you can put at the root of the document which is a link to a css file?
(I have a custom extension like this already, and thought this might have been it, but noted that its explicitly inline, and item dependant)
And even more, was this a style property rather than HTML class to apply? (which could then leverage the CSS allocated to the entire form)
@Lloyd McKenzie , @Paul Lynch do you do either of these?
Lloyd McKenzie (Oct 07 2019 at 04:22):
No standard extension for a link to a CSS. In part because there can be privacy issues with external links and in part because it's added complexity. We didn't bother with classes because we have no support for a standard CSS.

@Brian Postlethwaite For LHC-Forms I've partially implemented rendering-style with support for inline styles on Questionnaire.title, item.text, and item.prefix. I am putting off styles on answer lists (ValueSets) for now. In theory (though SDC does not ask for this) you could put rendering-style on the Questionnaire node, and then any styles you apply there should carry through to the child elements. At least, that is my understanding how rendering-style is supposed to work, but at least in LHC-Forms support has to be explicitly added for each case.
