Folks,
Using TiddlyWiki to automate design or support learning CSS
I have often felt if I had access to a list or data of CSS properties matched with their property values it would be possible to make a predictive css text tool to assist in designing tiddlywikis, writing CSS, and html.
The same idea could be applied to many cases where there are a discrete set of terms and related terms or subterms.
To start this experiment I have being looking for a comprehensive list of CSS properties, their shorthand and the possible values for each ,for example see this on the CSS background. Notice how it would be time consuming to extract this otherwise public information?
- That is it is difficult to find this information in a format that it can easily be imported to tiddlywiki and capture the relationships between properties and property values.
Do you know a source that may lend itself for extraction and import, such as a csv or other format?
Or feel free to Join this discussion on using TiddlyWiki to
automate design or support learning css deeply.
Imagine if, as you went to design a stylesheet or add css in html you could start typing a property and the match ones were listed, you could then select that property then see a list of possible “property values” for that “property” and insert the ones you need. This will support using CSS before you are fluent in CSS, but “with use” help you become fluent.
