Michael Osipov updated DOXIASITETOOLS-96:
-----------------------------------------
Labels: close-pending (was: )
> Flexible site descriptor inheritance
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: DOXIASITETOOLS-96
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIASITETOOLS-96
> Project: Maven Doxia Sitetools
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Decoration model
> Reporter: Sebb
> Labels: close-pending
>
> Inheritance as currently implemented means that <head> elements (for example)
> are inherited,
> Descendants can either accept the <head> or replace it completely with their
> own version.
> There's no concept of merging such elements, though this would be quite
> useful on occasion.
> My suggestion is to add an optional name (or id) to elements such as <head>,
> <footer> (when implemented), <custom> etc.
> Elements with the same name would replace their parent, as at present.
> Elements with different names would be merged.
> Since ordering is important for some elements, the name would be used to
> define the order (i.e. alphabetical).
> If not specified, the name would default to "main", which by happy
> co-incidence is roughly in the middle of the alphabet.
