Is the sheet- prefix necessary?

I am creating a custom character sheet. According to the  Sheet Development Wiki  I need to prefix classes with "sheet-" in CSS but not in HTML (since it's added automatically). I don't think this is actually happening since it works with and without the prefix as long as class names match between CSS and HTML. This works: <div class="sheet-example"></div> .sheet-example { ... } This also works: <div class="example"></div> .example { ... } This does not work: <div class="example"></div> .sheet-example { ... } Am I missing something? Thank you.

Roll20 recently released the Character Sheet Enhancement update.  So basically you have legacy mode or CSE mode.  In legacy mode ("legacy":true in the sheet.json or toggle the “Legacy Sanitization” checkbox from a custom sheet settings page.), sheet's should act like they always have.  CSE mode does not require the ".sheet-"/"sheet-" in css or html class names (EXCEPT for roll templates, which still require it in css and html). So it depends on what mode are you designing for...   Legacy: (don't forget to enable it) include ".sheet-"/"sheet-" in css and roll template html.  Regular html it's optional. CSE: exclude "sheet-"/".sheet-" in css and html except for roll templates. Again, I believe it's optional in the regular html.  Meaning I don't think it will break anything if included.
Thank you for answering, vince. I did not set legacy to true so I assume I am on CSE. That explains it! I think I will stay on CSE since I prefer it that way and fix my code.

I think I will stay on CSE since I prefer it that way and fix my code. You 100% should, it's the future, as Vince said. Regarding the char sheet dev wiki documentation First and foremost, DO NOT use the Help Center sheet Documentation, it's massively outdated Use &amp; read the Community Wiki Sheet dev documentation, Starting page: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets</a> Case in point, had you been reading the Community Wiki pages, you wouldn't have needed to ask about it, as the Legacy Sheet/ CSE differences are spelled out, at least when it comes to the sheet- stuff. The wiki isn't completely updated to be clear when " legacy sheet " examples are used and how CSE -sheets can be done, but I've added several warnings to most pages that might be affected. For example in this section <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS#Common_Mistakes" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS#Common_Mistakes</a> , I've clarified that this applies only to Legacy sheets. One of the best sections currently are <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS#Restrictions" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS#Restrictions</a> , as the restrictions for Legacy Sheets and CSE are separated, and the sheet- parts have been removed from the CSE sections. Would be great if others would help me start updating the sheet dev pages to have the code examples first show CSE-compliant examples, and maybe move the Legacy Sheet example code into collapsible sections. The " Tabs" CSS Wizardry section showcases how old &amp; new code can be kept side by side, one could press "Edit" for the section and copy the wikicode/syntax for the collapsed "old code" portion, and reuse it's format when updating other parts of the wiki.
