Welcome to the CentOS Web Visual Style Guide
+
+
The CentOS Web Visual Style Guide is a tool.
+
+
This tool is part of CentOS "Corporate Visual Identity Manual"
+ proposition, which is based on a monolithic corporate visual
+ identity structure. In a monolithic corporate visual identity
+ structure, organization has one name and one visual style in
+ all its manifestations (Olins (1989).
+
+
CentOS web manifestation (anything involving HTML standards)
+ should be considered here. (Ex. Portals, Wikis, Forums, Blogs,
+ Bug Tracker).
+
+
People customizing CentOS Web Environment can use this guide
+ as reference each time they need to solve a visual
+ customization problem. If the solution to a particular problem
+ don't exist in this guide, please add your problem here, and
+ the possible solutions you've found. If you haven't found a
+ solution, add your problem anyway, surely someone will find a
+ solution for it.
+
+
With this guide we are trying to unify as much CSS definitions
+ as possible, creating a common CSS definition for all web
+ applications we use and specific CSS definitions in those
+ cases where it is absolutely needed. Specific CSS definitions
+ will extend CentOS common CSS definitions.
+
+
+
+
Our Goals
+
+
+
+ - Creating a common visual presentation along the web
+ applications we use.
+
+ - Creating an environment where applications'
+ source code can be updated without breaking the common visual
+ presentation.

Working Lines
+
+
The following sections try to land our goals in more
+ specific tasks:
+
+
1. HTML Structures
+
+
Defines HTML structures used to display content:
+
+
+
+ - Default:
+ This is the simpliest HTML structure and can be used
+ as starting point when building new structures.
+
+ - Two
+ Columns: This is a two columns
+ structure based on default structure.
+
+
+
+
2. CSS Definition
+
+
This section defines CentOS Web visual style. CentOS web
+ visual style takes place in a set of CSS definitions. They are
+ organized in the following order:
+
+
+Main definitions (stylesheet.css):
+ `-- Import Base CSS definitions (common.css, print.css)
+ `-- Import Misscellaneous CSS definitions (tabs.css, containers.css, ...)
+
+
Web applications needing common CSS definitions will link
+ common CSS definitions in the following order:
+
+
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+
+
Web applications needing both common and specific CSS definitions will link
+ CSS definitions in the following order:
+
+
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+<link href="specific.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+
+
Specific web applications' CSS definition
+ (specific.css) will extend CentOS common CSS
+ definitions (stylesheet.css) and care will be taken
+ to avoid overlapping CentOS common CSS definitions in specific
+ CSS definitions.
+
+
3. Web Development
+
+
