Hi Gabriel,
�
nice work - now designers should start learning Smalltalk to be able to refactor large
style definitions :)
�
Some feedback:
=============
the new "RenoirSt" project unfortunately conflicts with the "Unit" package when both get loaded from the
config browser in Pharo 3.0:

�- RenoirSt loaded: �"2 px" returns an instance of CssLength (px is an extension method on Integer)
�- Units loaded: � � "2 px" returns an instance of UnitValue (px is an extension method on Number)
as you have defined own custom "units" in category "RenoirSt-Units".
�
I would really like to see that RenoirSt is reusing the common Units package instead of reinventing/conflicting
as the Unit package already provides pixels, millimeters, ... support including conversion. Reuse is key�
and would avoid duplicated effort.�
�
For instance Artefact, the PDF framework is using Units as a prerequisite already too - as it also�
has to deal with mm, pixels, points, ...�
�
Should be no problem to add missing CSS lengths like #em to Units project as well. Just ask Marcus Denker
to add you as a contributor to http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~MarcusDenker/Units/
Then add Units as a prerequisite similar to ConfigurationOfArtefact and use it in your code.��
�
Regarding features:
===================
For Seaside there is a project called "Seafox" generating Seaside #renderContentOn: methods from
HTML. http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/seaside/2010-August/023993.html

Maybe you want to build something similar for #cssContentOn: to support a better roundtrip with designers.

Bye
T.

Betreff:�[Pharo-dev] [ANN] RenoirSt 1.0.0 Release for Pharo 3.0

Hi,
�
I'm announcing the first official release of RenoirSt, a DSL enabling programmatic cascading style sheet generation for Pharo.
�
For the impatient, you can load it in your 3.0 image evaluating:
�
Gofer it � �
� � url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/gcotelli/RenoirSt/main';
� � configurationOf: 'RenoirSt';
� � loadStable�
�

or download a ready to use image from the Contribution CI Server[https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/RenoirSt/]�( a ConfigurationBrowser option comming soon).
�
Visit the project page[http://gcotelli.github.io/RenoirSt/] and GitHub repository[https://github.com/gcotelli/RenoirSt]�for more information on the supported and planned features, and check-out the online tutorial.[https://github.com/gcotelli/RenoirSt/blob/stable/docs/tutorial/Tutorial%20-%20TOC.md]

I hope you find it useful. Feel free to ask any questions, suggest ideas and improvements, or report bugs (the issue tracker is in GitHub).
