Inline Font color with {.class} are not correctly rendered in epub and pdf #5300

I'm formatting text with classes to give them custom colors. The classes are defined in a css-file. This works as expected by using {.class} when I output to HTML. But the formatting gets lost when I output to epub or pdf. How can I add the styles defined in the css-files to my pdf and epub outputs? |

CSS is for HTML based format, thus it can't work for PDF. Note that is already discussed in #3496 |

Thank you - yes I saw that thread - but it only offers a solution for formatting in html - which I managed to do. Regarding epub and pdf, using {.class} should allow for formatting to be carried over to different formats - that's why it is preferable to using the html span tag. But it does not work for me. |

It also highlights a solution for PDF: #3496 (reply in thread). PDF can't use CSS classes, because it would require to read/parse CSS classes and try to convert all the components to multiple languages. You can use conditional contents, custom Lua filter to add colour, etc. ---
