1 I'm writing my own CSS for ikiwiki. During this effort I often found the need of adding more class="" attributes to the default ikiwiki templates. This way more presentational aspects of visual formatting can be delegated to CSS and removed from the HTML structure.
3 In this patch I plan to collect changes in this direction.
5 The first, one-liner, patch is to use a "div" element with a
6 class="actions" attribute for inline page as is done with non-inlined page.
7 This way the same CSS formatting can be applied to div.actions in the CSS,
8 while at the moment it must be duplicated for a span.actions (which I
9 believe is also incorrect, since it will contain a "ul" element, not sure
10 though). In case the markup should be differentiated it will still be
11 possible relying on the fact that a div.actions is contained or not in a
18 The following adds a div element with class="trailer" around the meta-information
19 added after an inlined page (namely: the post date, the tags, and the actions):
21 --- inlinepage.tmpl.orig 2006-12-28 16:56:49.000000000 +0100
22 +++ inlinepage.tmpl 2006-12-28 17:02:06.000000000 +0100
27 +<div class="trailer">
29 <span class="pageinfo">

67 I'd like a class attribute on the `<span>` tag surrounding wikilinks
68 that refer to non-existent pages, in Ikiwiki.pm:htmllink, so that such
69 broken links can be styled more dramatically with CSS. --Jamey
