[Xerte-dev] Re: Model specific css of Nottingham template

Seems a good idea to me: if we were doing it from scratch, how would we have implemented it? With specific model ids?

Place one model specific id at a higher level?
Or change body class on page turn?

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Model specific css of Nottingham template

Hi All,

When we discussed H5P on the development day in April, we discussed that it might be a good idea to look at the aesthetics of all the models again and see if we can improve them.

One of the experiments I did, was to extract all the model specific css in a separate file, and include that file in the rloObject.htm and delete the inline styles from the model.

  1.  It make it possible to override model specific css
  2.  It make it possible to override model specific css in the themes

Regrettable, that doesn't work, because the models do not use independent html id's and classes.

What I would like to propose is to:

  1.  Make sure all the id's and classes used in a model file are unique for that model (by prefixing?)
  2.  Extract the inline css from the model files in a central file

Just to be able to override css in a LO specific custom stylesheet and in a theme.

Any objections and/or other suggestions?

Tom
