Hi
Last year, I wanted to divide the default style into modules. It would be easier to continue this with the style-include branch. Perhaps there could be a 'standard library' of files that all styles (including user-defined styles) could include?
A library is a good idea. I don't think that including from other styles is a bad idea, the question is just how do we do it. If you are developing your own style then you can divide it up into as many different files that you like and place them all somewhere inside the style. You might want to include a file from one of the built in styles but then you would be relying on it not changing too much in an incompatible way. Having a library of style fragments as a built in style might go a long way to make that more manageable. So I'll ask another question: if there was a syntax include some-file from some-style should the some-style be restricted to a library or any built in style? I am worried that --style-file and --style arguments already cause some confusion. ..Steve
