I’m important a course that originated as static html. I’ve built the course.xml and linked to the source html files.

Here’s where I’m stuck. The formatting is heavily reliant on the css style sheet. I uploaded it to /static within the course, and referenced it in the head of each html file. BUT edx is stripping off the entire section which breaks the css. And this also means I can’t embed the css into the source html files either. I scoured the docs, this site, web searches and found nothing so far.

How can I implement the css stylesheet? (if it’s even possible)
