Hi Diwaker, leather-dev is dead long live view/viewHelper. ;-)
I made a screen shot of the view plugin (using the viewHelper plugin). http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/forrest/trunk/site-author/content/xdocs/docs/images/snapshot-view-viewHelper.png?view=markup The viewHelper is using the markup and css elements from scale-dev. ...but I reckon the css would need some patches. ;-) salu2 thorsten On Thu, 2005-03-10 at 14:24 -0800, Diwaker Gupta wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Sometime back there was a discussion on the list on whether to keep > leather purely syntactic (i.e., use containers and named CSS elements > without attaching any notions of containment or placement in the skin > itself).
