Layout Gala, source order and "What's in a name".
The website http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ present a simple yet flexible html structure allowing 40 different visualisations by changing only CSS. As of 2.56, ikiwiki use this DIV structure: .header #sidebar #content #footer Layout Gala use the following DIV structure: #container #header #wrapper #content #navigation #extra #footer With this patch (and previous ones) the following DIV structure is used: #container .header #wrapper #content #sidebar #farbar #footer Specifically, the following is changed: * container added around whole body + needed for Layout Gala + allows setting cosmetic outer space/coloring around whole body * sidebar moved below content + needed for Layout Gala + considered by some to improve accessibility + considered by some as part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) * farbar added (needs a clone on sidebar plugin to be of any use) + no grand benefit - but hurts noone if unused either The following continues to not match Layout Gala: * header is a class, not an id + too intrusive to change: many iki sites may rely on current class + too ugly to add: technically possible to extend .pageheader to also be # header and still preserve .header, but too confusing with both .header and #header meaning different things. * sidebar instead of navigation + too intrusive to change... * farbar instead of extra + when sidebar is kept, extend it - inspired by http://green-beast.com/seabeast/ as mentioned at the discussion at http://green-beast.com/blog/?p=117 As a bonus, this fits pretty well with the proposed naming scheme at http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/whats_in_a_name_pt2.html (is it did already with plain ikiwik - thanks for that, Joey!)
