Hi Nicola

The problem with this attribute, as pointed before by Jeff Turner, is that
"class "attribute will break content-presentation separation, since the
forrest doc focuses on content but that attribute belongs to presentation.

Having said that, I recognise there's a need for altering the way Forrest
applies style to certain documents, but maybe there's a better solution.
Perhaps a "meta" tag telling the user-defined type of document (as in
"white-paper", "article", and so on), and then some extra config in
"skinconf" binding an specific type to a different css or selector. This
could also be used to alter the way Forrest generates the page.

For example:

-- skinconf.xml --
<skinconfig>
  <document-skin type="white-paper">
    <display-abstract>false</display-abstract>
    <display-toc>false</display-toc>
    <style link="anyfile.css">
      <title>myTitle</title>  <!-- this will use selector "myTitle" to
display "title" tags -->
      <p>font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px;color:
#0033FF;</p> <!-- inline style -->
    </style>
  </document-skin>
</skinconfig>

This is just an idea. 

Regards.

Ramon

Asunto: Adding @class attribute to all xdoc elements



To make it easy for users to add information and tweak the style 
accordingly using only CSS, without having to redo a DTD and skin and 
sitemap fix, we have to add @class attributes to all elements.

I therefore propose that we add a @class attribute in the "Common 
attributes" section of the DTD, and add user.css stylesheet.

Objections?
Comments?
