Aha! That would be great! What exactly is the need that isn’t being recognised? > Thanks for asking. I'm referring to that CSS is relatively simple to learn at a rudimentary level but still pretty powerful - but that TW is not really set up for manipulating css easily. Here are a few things that would make working with CSS simpler and many are kind of connected: - The main obstacle for manipulating the styling is by far the current stylesheets *monolithic* nature. These should be split up even though I can't say exactly how. In complement to splitting them, they could afterwards be grouped into cascade order, perhaps by means of tags or... (next bullet) - Slugification <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3379> of tiddler titles would enable more direct manipulation of CSS in wikitext, using e.g tiddler titles as class names and even appended as selectors. - Cascade order deserves <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/2823> an explicit D'nD listing somewhere under Ctrlpanel > Appearance - To create a SS tiddler, it ought to be enough to add a $:/tags/Stylesheet tag, i.e auto-detect type. - Local styleblocks are easily "lost". If there was a way to automatically "collect" (transclude?) them, it would be relatively easy to create custom complex stylesheets or themes gradually.
