It's a dead give-away, innit?

Let's try a link to the Wiki.

The result isn't what I expect: it's not resolving versus the edit tool as I was expecting. Rather, it's giving me the link to the cloud entry, which doesn't exist yet because I'm not upstreaming yet.

Let's try an UnresolvedLink to it.

The result isn't what I expect: I wanted a link to the edit page, too.

I suspect all this is because the WeblogTool isn't ... hang on, Zoe is paging.

As I was saying: the WeblogTool is rendering only for external. So, I'm going to have to alter that. :)

The CSS Zen Garden and PyDS templating

The CSS Zen Garden demonstrates the range of visual presentation available merely by changing the style sheet associated with a document. In particular, I'm excited by the clever use of background images. We might be able to go back to the normal reST rendering of admonitions, getting Georg's images through the style sheet.

Overall, the Garden raises the idea of a single rendering of PyDS' XHTML, with all of the visual presentation handled via the style sheet. I might try that out with my WikiTool.

I'm also fascinated by effbot's ElementTree, which looks like it could be even more powerful than ZPT/TAL in certain circumstances. I'm quite excited about it for RSS generation, for example, as (say) the WeblogTool could offer an RSS amendment hook and pass hooking methods the element tree for the RSS...
