Mobile browsers typically assume that arbitrary web pages are
designed for a "desktop-sized" browser window (around 1000px)
and display that layout, zoomed out, in order to avoid breaking
naive designs that assume nobody will ever look at a website on
a phone or something. People who are actually doing "responsive
design" need to opt-in to mobile browsers rendering it at a
more normal size.
According to caniuse.com, a significant fraction of Web users are
still using Internet Explorer versions that do not support HTML5
sectioning elements. However, claiming we're XHTML 1.0 Strict
means we can't use features invented in the last 12 years, even if
they degrade gracefully in older browsers (like the role and placeholder
attributes).
This means our output is no longer valid according to any particular
DTD. Real browsers and other non-validator user-agents have never
cared about DTD compliance anyway, so I don't think this is a real loss.
These all seem somewhat inappropriate (searchform and sidebar are
arguable either way). I've left actions and languages enabled, since
they seem more reasonable for CGI-generated pages.

Since misctemplate is called with a page context, the comments plugin
thinks it should add that, as well as the comment link in the actionbar.
I kept the comment link because a quick link back to the comments to a page
is sorta useful.

smcv: [10:59:01] is the logical thing you want a <div> whose meaning is "the bits the sidebar is allowed to accompany"?
bzed: [10:59:14] yeah
bzed: [10:59:58] then you could just ensure that this part is as high as the sidebar
smcv: [11:02:44] wrapping a <div> around the sidebar, content and comments seems like the way forward, then
On second thought, misctemplate can use pagetemplate hooks to provide
it, so it's better to keep back-compat, and allow full customisation
of how it's displayed via the template.
So RecentChanges shows on the action bar there,
convert recentchanges to use new pageactions hook,
with compatability code to avoid breaking old templates.
Now the toplevel layout is:
<article>
<section><header><nav></section>
<aside>sidebar</aside>
<section>content</section>
<section>comments</section>
<footer>
</article>
And I managed to preserve all CSS ids and names in their prior structure,
so CSS should not need changed.
This is a first pass, it avoids needing to change style.css
except where it refers to tag types.
This goes a bit off the rails at the pageheader with its nested header.
Semantically, there should be an article around the whole page
header, content, and footer. Just as there will be an article around a
whole comment or inlined page header, content, and footer.
But that will mean changing the css that currently refers to pageheader to
refer to the enclosing article instead.
* Ikiwiki can be configured to generate html5 instead of the default xhtml
1.0. The html5 output mode is experimental, not yet fully standards
compliant, and will be subject to rapid change.
Since Firefox version 3, it's done aggressive caching of visited pages, and
does not, by default, check if the cached content is still valid when
reloading or revisiting a page. By default, Firefox seems to not re-contact
the web server at all. Compare with eg, Epiphany and Chromium, which appear
to always check, and get back a 304 when the page is unchanged.
This header makes Firefox do the right thing, at least for html files. It
still over-caches if css, javascript, images, etc, are changed.
I chose not to have it override style.css, because style.css is not really
intended to be edited; the one from the underlay is intended to be used as
a base that local.css overrides.
I chose to use a plugin rather than changing the default behavior, both
because I didn't want to have to worry about possibly breaking backwards
compatability (though this seems unlikely), and because it seemed cleaner
to not include style template parameters in the main page template code.
I suppose someone might want a way to not override the toplevel
local.css, but instead include it as well as foo/local.css. Probably the
best way to do that would be to have foo/local.css @import ../local.css
(modulo browser compatability issues). Alternatively, edit page.tmpl
to always include the toplevel local.css, or swap out this plugin for
another one.
All the other actions are single words (apart from RecentChanges), and
are nouns (apart from Edit); saying "Source" is consistent with "History",
for instance.
* repolist: New plugin to support the rel=vcs-* microformat.
* goodstuff: Include repolist by default. (But it does nothing until
configured with the repository locations.)
The thinking here is that having both a Discussion page and comments for
the same page is redundant, and certianly not what you want if you enable
comments for a page. At first I considered making configurable via pagespec
what pages got discussion links. But that would mean testing a new pagespec
for every page, and a redundant config setting to keep in sync. So intead,
take a lead from my previous change to make inlined pages have a comments
link, and change the discussion link at the top of regular pages to link to
their comments.
(Implementation is a bit optimised to avoid redundant pagespec checking.)
