I'm playing with converting an HTML table into a CSS table (for better accessibility, comply with local guidelines, etc) and would like to know where to put the CSS to give it the narrowest scope possible (ideally a single file or class of files).
[The following is for completeness, please see the end of this mail for recommendations for your specific case]
In 0.7 there is no mechanism for per file CSS, you can have a single file for all project docs. To customise the CSS you can either create your own skin [1] or you can add extra CSS classes to the extra-css element in skinconf.xml.
In 0.8-dev you could use the dispatcher, but that is in the whiteboard and only recommended for the adventurous (although a number of devs are using it in preference to skins these days).
I'm not keen to update the global CSS files because I'm aware that CSS can require a lot of platform- and browser-specific tweaking and I'd rather not break things for everyone. I'm using the DOAP plugin in the whiteboard, if that matters.
I can add a little info to Stuarts needs as he is a colleague (but I do not know the answer). We are using the dispatcher, currently a customised version of the pelt theme.
