A better templating experience can be done by inhancing the template editor through including live view of parsed codes tab and codes view tab.

A user can type codes, then if he wants he can click on the live view tab and therefore he will see the final outcome of the templated codes. A user here can also do live editing by selecting colors and formating text etc. He can also create new classes that will be directly added to the theme, this way he can view also the outcome of the new css class along to the edited template before he submit the changes. This part is more like dreamweaver and such porgrams, but of course simplier.

  1. Great idea! Not so sure about the class adding thing, but the live view is awesome :P

  2. Poodle... if you are working in the live editor and you need to make a new style. what do you prefer to do? going to the theme manager and add a class or making one automaticly through the style you are applying on a certain piece of the page?

  3. This would be hard to implement especially the live view part.

  5. Well would adding line counter to the template editor be that difficult? It's tough to see in that small window when a new line ends or begins.
