One of the things we do quite often is re-skin sites for customers from a mainly templated design.

It would be useful if we could commonise some of the values used repeatedly throughout css into label values, so that they only need to be changed in one place.

Is it possible that you could enable Razor parsing in the CSS files? Or have you found a way to do anything similar previously?

CSS variables are something that developers have been asking after for as long as I can remember, but I don't think there's a more generic solution as yet?

Thanks,

1. It is impossible to use the razor in CSS style files. But you can write the css sytles included in the template.

2. Sorry, it is impossible to embed the label in the HTML content and HTML blocks.

yes, I think must enhance this part. There are many dynamic values must be replaced in the HTML content:

1. The file virutal path.

2. insert a page url.

3. label text.

....


But they can be done in the view, so we must evaluate it.

You reminded me, I think we can use the Nvelocity template engine in the Html content and html block. It is security and pure html code, you can use the api we exposed.

Kooboo cms have been supported to use nvelocity in the layout and view. You can download the Template_Engines.zip, and place the nvelocity provider files into bin folder.

I just said it is possible, but did not support that. We must evaluate it, because the nvelocity does not support in medium trust level.
