excelExporter - where to define style-attributes?

[chris.simons]

The documentation on formatting your Excel worksheet - when exported using the dataTable exporter - is a bit muddy for me.

The documentation says:
"When using the datatable exporter, CSS must be entered through style-attributes, external stylesheets are not supported "

Okay, I understand - but where would I define these style-attributes?  Somewhere in the header of the XHTML page?

Thanks.

Where you want it applied. For example

  <e:cell style="xls-font: red bold italic 22 Verdana">...

Nicklas,

Thanks for the reply, but I still don't follow.  I am not using a XHTML to Excel worksheet, I'm simply using the ExcelExporter class to take a RichFaces dataTable, and have it exported to Excel.  In this situation, where would I put the <e:cell ..> markup...would I put it in the header of the XHTML page that calls the excepExporter action?

Thanks.
