Problem: templatestyles extension is almost magic into wikisource environment, but there's the need to activate easily it into all pages of an Index.
Who would benefit: all contributors
Proposed solution: to allow optionally to fill Index page css field with a valid templatestyle page. A simple regex could be used to see if css field content contains a valid css or a valid page name.
More comments: Presently it.wikisource and nap.wikisource are testing other tricks to load work-specific templatestyles into all pages of an Index, with very interesting results.
Reproducing original books is inherently layout and formatting heavy, presenting books to readers is inherently layout and formatting heavy. Inline formatting templates are carrying a lot of weight right now, with somewhat severe limitations and very little semantics. Getting a good system for playing with the power of CSS would help a lot. --Xover (talk) 11:08, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
