[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-521?page=comments#action_12312799 ]
Thorsten Scherler commented on FOR-521: --------------------------------------- Actually pure html should be in a contract IMO. I thought about allowing <forrest:hook>text</forrest:hook> but that does not feels right in the view. I think something like: <forrest:contract name="site-branding"> <forrest:properties contract="site-branding"> <forrest:property name="site-name">new seed</forrest:property> <forrest:property name="site-tagline">powered by forrest:views</forrest:property> </forrest:properties> </forrest:contract> Is handy for the reuse of contracts in different views with different properties. The template would look like: <xsl:template name="site-branding-body"> <xsl:param name="site-name"/> <xsl:param name="site-tagline"/> <div id="site-name"><xsl:value-of select="$site-name"/> </div> <div id="site-tagline"><xsl:value-of select="$site-tagline"/></div> </xsl:template> Where this <forrest:properties contract="site-branding"> will be properly in the long run not part of the views.fv but another config file (maybe generated out of somekind of metadata) WDYT? *Rember discussions on dev list* > static HTML in views > -------------------- > > Key: FOR-521 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-521 > Project: Forrest > Type: Wish > Components: Skins (general issues) > Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Diwaker Gupta > Assignee: Thorsten Scherler > Priority: Minor > > A final touch for views would be the ability to add arbitrary static HTML to > skins.
