Hi again,
I just finished a css engine which we use in our project which can help you to virtualize all your css in a pipeline, and handle browser specificities in a clean way (no more css syntax hacking). Perhaps it could be valuable for others.
Here is the description: - it's xml syntax - it has a preprocesseur engine (variables -- string, number, xpath expressions -- and include) - it's browser aware (it's his main purpose) - it's entirely based on xslt (fast enough anyway ;-)
Example:
<css> <!-- defines or rules can be put in a separate file and included with include src="some_macros_css.xml" anywhere --> <define name="color-bg" value="#FF2345"/> <define name="medium-r" value="2"/> <define name="width-rp" value="{100 - (2 * $medium-r)}" agent="! ie6"/> <!-- width on a floated box with relative padding is alway 100 for ie6 ?? --> <define name="width-rp" value="100" agent="ie6"/> <define name="box" left="4pt" right="4pt" top="1pt" bottom="1pt/>
<rule select="#body-container"> <marging value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> <padding value="{$medium-r}%"/> <width value="{$width-rp}%"/> <float value="left"/> </rule>
<rule select="#body-container li"/> <margin value="0"/> <!-- float only on ie5mac ? --> <float value="left "agent="ie5mac"/> </rule>
<rule select="#body-container li a> <padding value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> <background color="{$color-bg}"/> </rule>
<rule select="#body-container p" agent="ie6"> <!-- thif f%*#ing browser drive me crazy --> </rule> </css>
I guess i had to use nagoya (mispelled ?) to submit the stylesheets+install proc, but tell me first if it's cocoon or lenya/forrest relevant ?
Nice!!!
I personally don't mind the CSS syntax, but I do agree that with a different syntax you lose the ability to apply pipeline tools to it, so I think this is a great thing.
I would suggest you put a patch in bugzilla.
