This is just a very rough mockup. I've devised some substitution syntax :-) -- see the comments in the html.
I don't see any use for a template system at all. It's just a performance penalty for no gain in either flexibility or capability.
What I'm interested in seeing is a /complete page/, fully rendered, with all text, markup, and style elements. We can then implement that in the structure we already have which is quite powerful.
couple of neat tricks:
- the sidebar width scales with browser font size changes (we
currently don't) 2. use of a body class for article / meta namespace means we can do things like put the header of non-article pages in italics
Those sound useful; if you can integrate that into the existing stylesheets, so much the better.
