The styles are saved in the skin (file system stylesheets, skin object,
stylesheet extensions). For instance you could put:
.todo {
background: url(/path/to/todo.png) no-repeat scroll 6px 8px #EFEFEF;
color: darkblue;
padding: 8px 28px;
}
in a stylesheet extension then configure the WYSIWYG editor like this:
styleNames: "[{...}, {name: 'todo', label: 'TODO', inline: false}, {...}]"
For a start, the list of predefined style names (CSS class names) will
be configurable only from macros.vm but later we can create a nice UI in
the administration to allow wiki administrators to configure the list.
When the user selects a piece of text and applies the TODO style from
the WYSIWYG editor, he'll get:
(% class="todo" %)
Some TODO text..

I don't think it's good to let users define their own styles. The idea
is to have consistency between wiki pages. One way to achieve this is to
enforce users to use the same styles for the same type of information.
