Controlling styles of editor box

[iain duncan]

Hi folks, I realize that WYM is not supposed to by WYSIWYG, but I would nontheless like to control the style of the box a bit more. I figure it should at least show content where possible in a way that looks like what they'll get. My issue is that that the example of how to do this seems really cumbersome. Am I perhaps missing something? IE

/* red */
.red /* .red */ {
color: red;
/* color: red; */
}

Seems like an awful lot of stuff to type to just say that I want the class .red to be .red in the output, and on the screen. Is there an easier way to incorporate styles with a more trimmed down syntax?

Thanks
Iain
