Anyway, while I was doing this I came across the
question of these
common categories/locales. When Nick put them in, Clair asked if they
could be moved into the navbar, and Nick said he didn't want to do
this, but didn't really explain why. I think they should be in the
navbar. Semantically, they belong there; they're means of navigation,
entry points into the Guide.
They weren't placed into the navbar for reasons of css control. If they
were within a div with id=navbar, it became significantly harder to give
different styling to these than the rest of the navbar.
One workaround might be to do (id names probably want to be better):
<div id="navbar">
<div id="main-navbar">
....
</div>
<div id="common-links">
....
</div>
</div>
That way, you could choose to do all your styling on navbar (so they go
together), or do no styling on navbar, and style main-navbar and
common-links independently.
The other thing is that they should really be
specified in wiki.conf,
since (a) they should be configurable, and (b) they need to be run
through the node_name_to_node_param method of the formatter before
being plonked on the page.
Dom had a think about this, and I think decided we'd need to extend
Config::Tiny, or use something else, to be able to do it properly. Dom -
am I remembering you comments correctly?
