How can I find and apply the normal page CSS to a ‘page publishing’ page?
And where does one put CSS for pages anyway?

You can add CSS to your theme, or if your theme doesn’t allow customizations because it’s a default theme or hosted remotely, you can create a theme component and add that to your theme ([Customizing themes without an Edit code button](https://meta.discourse.org/t/customizing-themes-without-an-edit-code-button/329601))
I am not sure if that also works for page publishing. Canapin said it doesn’t

Yes, CSS from plugins and themes is included on published pages. Anything in “header” and “footer” as well.

Yeah I was meaning in term of features, js etc. Even basic built-in stuff like dynamic dates won’t work.

It would create a way better user experience to have features such as the image viewer, dates, interactive footnotes, table of contents, etc… When reading a published page.

You can add your theme component to multiple themes
