# Erector Page base class.
#
# Allows for accumulation of script and style tags (see example below) with either
# external or inline content. External references are 'uniq'd, so it's a good idea to declare
# a js script in all widgets that use it, so you don't accidentally lose the script if you remove
# the one widget that happened to declare it.
#
# At minimum, child classes must override #body_content. You can also get a "quick and dirty"
# page by passing a block to Page.new but that doesn't really buy you much.
#
# The script and style declarations are accumulated at class load time,
# This technique allows all widgets to add their own requirements to the page header
# without extra logic for declaring which pages include which nested widgets.
# Unfortunately, this means that every page in the application will share the same headers,
# which may lead to conflicts. If you want something to show up in the headers
# for just one page, override #head_content, call super, and emit it yourself.
#
# Author:: Alex Chaffee, alex@stinky.com
#
# = Example Usage:
#
# class MyPage < Page
# js "lib/jquery.js"
# script "$(document).ready(function(){...});"
# css "stuff.css"
# style "li.foo { color: red; }"
#
# def page_title
# "my app"
# end
#
# def body_content
# h1 "My App"
# p "welcome to my app"
# end
# end
#
# class WidgetWithCss < Erector::Widget
# Page.style "div.custom { border: 2px solid green; }"
#
# def content
# div :class => "custom" do
# text "green is good"
# end
# end
# end
#
# = Thoughts:
# * It may be desirable to unify #js and #script, and #css and #style, and have the routine be
# smart enough to analyze its parameter to decide whether to add it to the list of external
# or inline references.
