By separating the files required by the web UI it would be easier to implement fixes and improvements. Maybe the packaging of these files could happen in the build step instead of having strings of HTML in the C source?

It's sad to see that this suggestion from 2010 has not been followed up on... Separating the HTML/CSS from code would have so many advantages, it's hard to know where to begin.
Right now, in 2014, the html/css output by Fossil is less-than-optimal: it is riddled with inline styles (very, very bad), uses table-based layout for most of its pages, and makes no use of widely accepted HTML5 elements. Fossil is a GREAT piece of software, but the web GUI really need an update. nobody added on 2014-06-09 16:17:45: Agreed. It's sad to see that after four years, this is still open and pending, What happened to separation of concerns? |
