content within a div, e.g. <div id="mailman">...</div> and then prefix all CSS rules with "#mailman" - this stops the Mailman styles from leaking out into the parent page elements.I can add this to the wiki if it's useful. Is it?
It is, please do!
I see a couple of stops along the web u/i configurability track.
Most sites won't care and will just use Mailman right out of the
box. Others will be content with just tweaking a little CSS to get
their colors right. Still others will want to embed the Mailman u/i
in their own web pages. And finally, hard core users may want to
ditch the u/i all together, writing their own or running Mailman
without a web u/i at all. I think we can and should support all of
these scenarios.
Genshi has been mentioned a few times. My impression was that it
insists on producing valid XML output, which is nice, but doesn't necessarily play well with ideas like factorisable head/foot portions. Also,
can it be used for templating the automated email messages, i.e. plain text rather than XML? I'm not speaking from exceptional familiarity with Genshi here, but these suspicions made me use Cheetah in place of
Genshi for one of our projects... can anyone confirm/refute these prejudices (off-list if necessary)?
Please keep it on-list. I'm interested in the discussion too! I
forgot to mention Cheetah -- Ethan, did you play with it at one point?
Templating the email messages would be nice to have, but it's not as
critical as the web u/i.
