Like what specifically? Rendering? Here is what I do in my TiddlyWikis:
If the style sheet has no macros then I use text/css if it does use macros
(like <<colour>> or <<datauri>>) then I use type text/vnd.tiddlywiki and
wrap the whole tiddler in a <pre> tag so it renders nicely. I could also
use the three back ticks to code highlight if I had the highlight plugin.
Since the inclusion of CSS seems to ignore HTML surrounding it:
title: MySpecialStyle
tags: $:/tags/Stylesheet
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
\define border-radius(size)
border-radius: $size$;
-moz-border-radius: $size$;
-webkit-border-radius: $size$;
-o-border-radius: $size$;
\end
<pre>
.foobar {
<<border-radius 6px>>
color: <<colour foreground>>;
background-color: <<colour background>>;
}
</pre>
Eventually I realized the only time I needed to see the style was while
editing and that had no formatting so I dropped the <pre> tags all
together. And to be honest this makes sense. I would want my
application/javascript to be interpreted with the wikitext parser (gods,
one left shift bit opperation and all hell would break loos (var x = y <<
1; // => BOOM!) Or in a text/css if you has an empty string it would think
you meant bold:
.foobar {
content: '';
}
.bar {
content: '';
}
Would expand to:
.foobar {
content: <b>;
}
.bar {
content: </b>;
}
And that would be silly.
So there are reasons that macros are only parsed in text/vnd.tiddlywiki and
not in alternative types (gosh think about parsing wikitext out of an
image/jpg).
