Feedback for the StylePlugin

-- DaleBrayden - 28 Feb 2003

Nice work, and this plugin is now helping my site look a lot better. CSS is cool.

However, according to my sources it is possible to assign several classes to an element. So I think the pattern in the Perl source, \w+, is an unnecessary limitation because it matches only a single word, not several words with spaces.

I also added a new syntax on my site so that links can be specified with styles. Let me know if you are interested.

This may be similar to the PseudoXmlPlugin ...

-- ColasNahaboo - 14 Nov 2003

Yes, I would be interested in the enhanced link syntax.

Actually, I didn't know that multiple style classes could be assigned to a single element. Does this work in most browsers?

Does this allow nested divs? For instance, I use the following CSS to produce a Post-It style box with a shadow. How would I define/use this in the StylePlugin syntax?

<style type="text/css">
.postit {
background: #dfdfdf;
border: 1px solid #f5f5f5;
float: right;
width: 15em;
top: 3px;
left: 3px;
}
.postit div {
color: red;
background: #ffffbf;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: .5em;
position: relative;
top: -4px;
left: -4px;
}
</style>

<div class="postit">
 <div>Here's a nice Post-It.</div>
</div>

which produces:

I would love to be able to say:

---[.postit
Here's a nice Post-It.
---]

checked http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/StylePlugin/StylePluginInstall-1-2-1.zip into CVS

Got Peter to remove the silly protections on the pugin topic, and uploaded a rebuild of the plugin from Subversion with API violations fixed. Absolutely no guarantees, not even run up to check if it works.

Installing this on 4.0.4 completly breaks the wiki, could you update this plugin to work on 4.0.4

I noticed this plugin enlarges fonts on tables with quickmenuskin and enlarges fonts other than tables with natskin. Tried to disable the plugin and everything is normal again. Is this a bug? At least it's kind of annoying.

I tried to fix this but ended up using AttachContentPlugin, which is a beautiful solution to the TWiki-editable css problem.

• See PatternSkinColorSettings for an example of this. -- ArthurClemens - 20 Apr 2007

This plugin appears to break the pattern skin left-hand navigation bar in IE7. When the plugin is installed, the bar does not show up and as soon as it's removed the bar reappears.

• Does this also occur when you remove the default style settings? -- ArthurClemens - 20 Apr 2007

-- DavidSheridan - 20 Apr 2007

Yes - that was the first thing I tried.
