A tip for helping you to debug your layout/stylesheets.
Below are two tips for making it easier to make sense of the combination
of php-code in stdlayout.php together with various stylesheets:
The second tip assumes you're using Opera as your browser, but similar
functions might be available in other browsers.
* (Temporarily) modify the code to produce simpler output, e.g. this code:
$PageLayoutFmt['wikihead']='search form';
$PageLayoutFmt['wikicmds']='wikicmds<br>...<br>wikicmds';
$PageLayoutFmt['wikititle']=" <div class='pagegroup'>group</div>
<div class='pagetitle'>pagetitle</div>";
will produce less HTML-code. (It would be nice to have a special "debug"
or "layout" mode in pmwiki for this).
* Go to Opera's menu: View->Style and check the option
"Debug with outline"
which will show you the outline of e.g. the DIV-elements. This is really
useful when you're fiddling with positions, margins and paddings etc.
Here's a screenshot of how a simplified page can look:
