Hi all, As we probably all know, CSS as a language has its limitations, notably the complete absence of any abstraction mechanisms. I've been meaning to check out some CSS compilers, but haven't yet.
But in the course of fiddling with my site the other day, I experimented with some layout by just supplying :STYLE attributes inside WITH-HTML, rather than by assigning classes and adding clauses to the CSS files. And then it struck me. Why do we Weblocks users need CSS files at all? We're generating the HTML anyway -- why don't we generate the styles at the same time? We would have all the abstraction capabilities of Common Lisp at our fingertips and we wouldn't need to earn yet another language. Basically everything in Weblocks that generates HTML would call a new method to get the style for each element. I haven't started to work out all the details, but doesn't this sound like a good idea? -- Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weblocks" group.
