Dear Fossil Gurus,

The HTML used in the web interface of Fossil is... well... let's just say, "not 
optimal". Although the web interface is sufficiently functional, it could do 
with an upgrade - ie, use proper html5 elements, make use of a responsive 
layout, etc.

I have played with editing the 'header', 'footer' and 'css' of the 'skin', but 
that is not enough. The html of the main 'content' section of every page is 
hard-coded into the Fossil core. This seems to mean, that it is not possible to 
easily change the html of individual pages - not without changing the 
application's code, and recompiling it...

I saw that there were (at least) a couple of feature request tickets, that ask 
about separating the html from the main code base - to make customisation 
easier. These tickets, however, seem to be quite old. Does anyone know whether 
there are any plans to do that?

If not, I might spend some time trying to *really* customise the interface by 
using some brute-force javascript to totally re-write the html elements 
currently produced by the standard fossil output for its various pages. This, 
however, is not an easy or elegant solution - and would definitely be 
redundant, if the html is going to be separated from the core code any time in 
the near future (and I won't want to spend any time on a javascript solution)...

Does anyone know if there are any plans on separating the html from the code?

Many thanks in advance for any info,
