Header and footer templates for Map and Cards about usm.io HOT 2 CLOSED

Problem

This will cross the current implementation.

Current implementation

Generater generates header and footer parts around the rendered markuo. It defines the doctype and adds dynamic contents. Right now the only dynamic contents are the css and js files that can be given with the render options. But there are plans to generate a title for the card website from the title field in card.json.

Using templates

This would make the users more flexible regarding what they want to add to the page. It would give them the freedom to define their own doctype and meta data. Stylesheets and css could be linked directly which is no big difference to the current implementation (usability wise) but it would make templates mandatory.

Dynamically rendered stylesheets and stuff like title tag will be difficult though. We would still need to render them into the template which would require template tags. And the user shouldn't forget to put them into the template, otherwise the map will not be rendered correctly.

How to deal with CSS that is used to display the map?

I'm still not sure how to treat the css that is needed to display the map and parts of it are generated dynamically (the releases feature). Thus there can't be a map without this css. So the user shouldn't have freedom to just remove it.

But on the other hand we have to allow the user to modify the css.

Possible solution

Make the css for the map mandatory and render it directly into the map? But allow the users to overrule it with their own stylesheet. How does the order of the stylesheets need to be to allow this?
