[Seaside] Inlining styles in document (also: reporting)

Fri Sep 14 18:10:42 UTC 2018

For the CSS, since its a static file with known elements, could you use
something like 

https://unused-css.com/

to create the minimum set of CSS rules and then just include them in the
HTML document <head> in your #updateRoot: method e.g.

MyComponent>>#updateRoot: anHTMLRoot

  anHTMLRoot addStyle: self minimumBootstrapCSSString

There may even be an "unused CSS remover" type tool with an API you could
use easily from within your app if the static file you're making changes
elements often.

No ideas about generating RTF/DOC/DOCX but would be interested in what you
learn.
