    <para>The <emphasis ><property>&quot;header&quot;</property></emphasis > attribute defines text to be represented. If you can use the

    <para>In order to redefine styles for all <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:panel&gt;</property></emphasis> components on a page using CSS, it&apos;s enough to create classes with the
      same names (possible classes could be found in the table <link linkend="tab_cn11">above</link>) and define necessary properties in them. An example is placed below:</para>

    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>

    <para>Also it&apos;s possible to change styles of particular <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:panel&gt;</property></emphasis> component. In this case you should create own style classes and use them in corresponding <emphasis role="bold"
