---+!! Css elements in !PatternSkin

This page is a reference for all CSS classes used in PatternSkin.

%TOC{title="Page contents:"}%

The !PatternSkin stylesheet is divided in two files:
   * [[%PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/layout.css][layout.css]]: positioning of block elements on the page
   * [[%PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/style.css][style.css]]: appearance of blocks and all other page elements

If you want to learn how to create your own look or skin based on !PatternSkin, read further in PatternSkin.

---++ Naming conventions

!PatternSkin follows the naming conventions used in TWiki core code: all TWiki class names have the prefix =twiki=: twikiEditPage, twikiTopicAction, etcetera. ID names are not used, only class names, to allow multipe class names. See also: TWikiCss.

---++ Namespaces

!PatternSkin uses namespaces for templates, by adding one (sometimes two - multiple) class names to the template's body tag. 

   * The body tag in view.pattern.tmpl for instance has the class name "twikiViewPage": =&lt;body class="twikiViewPage"&gt;=. All CSS elements specific to the view template thus can be defined as =.twikiViewPage .someClassName=.
   * All templates that are _not_ the view template have the body class name "twikiNoViewPage". That makes it easy to give all of these pages a different layout in one sweep (smaller or wider margins for instance). Template edit.pattern.tmpl uses =&lt;body class="twikiNoViewPage twikiEditPage"&gt;=.
