Well if I were to design a skin from scratch, you'd code the entire thing into PHP from my HTML? egad! I figured using templates would shunt part of the work onto the page designer's lap, that's all.
Those sound useful; if you can integrate that into the existing stylesheets, so much the better.
From what I can tell from Skin.php, the current system shoves a "bgcolor" => "#FFFFDD" into the HTML's BODY tag Change that to shove a class= ... as in my notes: "class" => "article" and "class" => "meta" presumably
That (or something like it) is probably a good idea. I'm only a bit concerned that I want to have styles that apply to the body text of articles regardless of namespace, but I suppose I can use the DIVs for that.
?? The css has 3 blocks: body { /* these style rules apply to all articles */ } body.article { /* just sets the white colour for articles */ } body.meta { /* just sets the yellow colour for meta-pages*/ }
This is why it's called *cascading* stylesheets. :-D I think we have a communication problem! You speak PHP, I don't. I speak CSS, and I'm not sure you do.
