[Seaside] canvas translator & new version of Seafox

[Larry White]

Hi Nick,
This is also very nice, but what I think people working with a designer need
is something that translates the html literally to seaside markup, but
doesn't do anything with the stylesheets.

Lets say my designer gives me foo.html that will be part of a seaside
application.  He also gives me a foo.css file that handles the layout. What
I need is seaside markup that includes the original css classes in line, so
that I can re-use the css file that he gave me.  Otherwise, if he gives me
another page tomorrow with the same css sheet, I'll end up with at totally
new set of derived classes, making it very hard to maintain the stylesheets.


This may be easier than what you've done since you can ignore the css almost
entirely, and just convert, say <div class='foo-form'/>... to html div
class: 'foo-form' with:[...

Does this make sense (and does it seem useful)?

thanks.
