I like this idea. I was playing around with ways to combine the last two parameters, but nothing looked good. This looks good to me.
-tr-rule-ref: property("background-color", "af|foo{color}")

To make it more clear, maybe we can combine the last two parameters into a single one like: "af|foo{color}". Also, if "{color}" is omitted, the property name specified in parameter 1 will be pulled.

I like Option 3 as well. It's still fairly short, and it uses a convention we already have. It is a little unclear which parameter you are setting (background-color in this example) and which you are pulling from the selector (color).

Hi Jeanne,
I didn't know we have a third option to consider: -tr-rule-ref: property("background-color", "af|foo", "color").
I'd vote for option #3 for the following reasons:
1. The syntax is consistent with -tr-rule-ref:selector(...).
2. It is intuitive if you're already familiar with "-tr-rule-ref:selector(...)". 3. Option #2 can be confusing to the user since the keyword "-tr-rule-ref" can be used both as a property name and a value. 4. From DT's perspective, it's easier to support since we only need to provide another possible value (property(...), vs. selector(...) to "-tr-rule-ref") to help with user's selection in the PI.

Thanks,
-Alan

We don't have a -tr-include-style. We have a -tr-rule-ref:selector.
So if we did #1, I would go for -tr-rule-ref:property instead of
-tr-include-property.

1': -tr-rule-ref:property(selector="af|foo",propertyName="color",
localPropertyName="background-color")
3. -tr-rule-ref: property("background-color", "af|foo", "color"); // or
something like this to make it shorter.

Right now I'm leaning towards 2.
2':
background-color: -tr-rule-ref:property("af|foo", "color");

Hello,

Maybe you followed the discussions on this topic from http://markmail.org/search/?q=skinning#query:skinning%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+mid:4nt2ykmdnnmcyvp4+state:results

We need to decide between two alternatives for the syntax of the "-tr-include-property". The two alternatives are:

1. -tr-include-property: property(selector="af|foo",propertyName="color", localPropertyName="background-color")

2. background-color : -tr-property-ref("af|foo", "color")

The advantage of the first API is that it is quite similar to the "-tr-include-style", while for the second one that the local property name can't be mistaken with the included property.

What do you think? Which is the best alternative?

Regards,
Marius
