You're a bit inconsistent on the wiki page.
In some places you use lower case letters at the beginning of class
names, in others upper case. In some cases you put a space after a
class, in some not. Please take care of that.
There are even more spacing mistakes/confusions all around, for example
in the last example in snippets there is an extra space before Box.
Content format: I know we talked about describing the "packing" in
Eolian. We said we'd just mark functions/properties with @packer or
something, right? Maybe mention it in the wiki.
snippet: I feel like there should be a better name for that. No need to
use the Android naming.
I really don't like the way you suggested to customise snippets. I
really don't like it. There must be a better way. Also, using the "id"
as a type all of sudden is weird and confusing. I really dislike all of
this, I think we need to get back to the drawing board for this one.
I don't get why resources are done this way. I much prefer
res("path/layout.edj") or even just a list of resources, why the
"images" and "edje"? I guess for embedding edje compilation. I think
that's wrong putting it in this tool.
Looking at the format example at the end of the wiki page, it's
inconsistent and outdated, please update it with the definitive format.
As a side note, I don't like the way the discussions over this are being
done. We just get random rewrites once every few weeks. Version 1, 2 and
3 are very different, and there's no explanation to why things were
changed or done in the ways they were done. I have seen no comments from
anyone on the ML or anything, just completely new versions that improve
in some aspects are get worse in others without any specific comments or
discussions. I expect to see something like: "we changed it to this
because X, Y and Z. Unfortunately there was an issue with our previous
idea that this one solves, but there are new caveats, bla bla bla."
Other than the above (and the comments below), it looks good and is
getting better, I'm just asking for an easier to follow process and some
corrections. Sorry if it comes across a bit bitchy. :)

Decide, either:
part["part1"]: Box
Button
Or:
part["part1"]: Box
Button
Don't allow both. The second one is probably better, though a bit
over-indented.
I'd avoid things like you second suggestion, that is, aligning box and
the tables to the same column, adds so much manual maintenance without
any benefits.

See my comments above, I hate this.

I don't understand this question, but I have commented on resources above.
