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,
