Ok, so maybe it's a bit much to parametize something, that after all, is one level of parametization already. Meta-Meta-Data ?
Let's say that I have in my CSS a whole 'range' of classes...
nBodyPrimary
nBodySecondary
bBodyPrimary
bBodySecondary
iBodyPrimary
iBodySecondary
iListPrimary
well, you get the idea?
n is normal, b is bold, i is Italic, Primary and Secondary (possibly Tertiary, etc.) are the colours of the fonts. So by changing every class that ends with "Primary", I'd change the primary font colour of the site. Good for 'flavours'.
Let's say my Primary colour is orange. I'd want the colour to be #cc6600. Now I could just search and replace this with #990000 if I wanted to change my primary to red. But what about the case where I want only TEXT to change colours, and not (say) a table border or cell background. Those i still want orange.
Does CSS support the concept of parametizing, such that I could specify my class :
.nBodyPrimary{
color: %primary_colour%;
where % is my entirely imagined syntax for the CSS parameter 'primary_colour'
Perhaps someone will smack me upside the head, and tell me that I'm using CSS entirely wrong.
