- The RT Style framework fundamentally rejects static CSS class mapping. Instead, it relies on semantic DOM isolation. Authors define logical boundaries utilizing RT· tags, completely separating the data graph from its physical presentation. -

+ Philosophical Approach +

- Styling is executed dynamically at runtime. JavaScript closure functions (e.g., apply_style) intercept the parsed DOM tree, evaluate the active theme variables, calculate necessary dimensions, and inject inline styles directly into the elements. + An RT-Style document follows an abstraction hierarchy. At the highest level there is theme. The current working theme is inverse_wheat. You are probably looking at it now. There are a couple of others that might or might not be working. Theme colors are set by the role played in the document; they do not refer to any DOM elements. The next layer down the abstraction stack is layout. The current working layout is article_tech_ref. The purpose of layout is to set the general size and placement of elements. article_tech_ref assumes the text will be laid out across pages and displayed in a browser. It allows page length to be flexible so that some elements can appear without breaks in them. Other layouts could do things differently. Then the RT semantic elements are placed in the layout. An RT semantic element is named by the role it plays in the document, such as title page, section, code, math, etc.

- Typography Note: The middle dot used as a namespace separator in tags is the middle dot of typography. On macOS: Option + Shift + 9. On Windows: Hold Alt and type 0183 on the numeric keypad. Linux: Compose Key followed by . and -. + There is no CSS file to edit. CSS is a miniature language for static styling. However, it lacks loops or conditionals, and even variables are an awkward addition. In RT-Style, style is painted onto elements from JavaScript functions. Each element has an apply_style function found at the top of its source code. It is not expected that an author of a document will edit these; rather, their values are computed dynamically from the theme settings. If something isn't working out in the presentation, this is considered to be a design problem, not a reason to be modifying style.

- Content is found between the opening HTML tag and the closing HTML tag. E.g. <RT·noop>This is content.</RT·noop>. + RT-Style uses the middle dot as a namespace separator in tags. This is the middle dot of typography, so it is supported as a text character in modern systems. On macOS: Option + Shift + 9. On Windows: Hold Alt and type 0183 on the numeric keypad. Linux: Compose Key followed by . and -.

- An attribute is a name-value pair found within an opening HTML tag. E.g. <RT·noop name="value">. Here the attribute name is name and the attribute value is value. + As a quick review of terminology, note that content is found between the opening HTML tag and the closing HTML tag. E.g. <RT·noop>This is content.</RT·noop>. Whereas an attribute is a name-value pair found within an opening HTML tag. E.g. <RT·noop name="value">. Here the attribute name is name and the attribute value is value.

- - - Execution Pipeline Schedule

- Standard web developers utilize browser inspection tools assuming the rendered elements map directly to the authored HTML. In the RT framework, this is false. The layout engine routinely executes destructive, multi-pass operations—ripping out text arrays to synthesize coordinate grids or wrapping linear flows into soft-paginated boundaries. + For RT-Style to work, the document will need to include a file that points it at the library, as discussed later in this manual.

+

- RT-Style operates on a strictly phased, non-monotonic DOM evaluation schedule governed by the stage_manager.js. Developers writing custom elements must target the correct execution phase to prevent destructive collisions. + For examples of using RT-Style, take a look at the source code for this document, and look in the project test directory.

+ In the RT-Style framework when a page is rendered, the JS code associated with the semantic elements modifies the DOM. It does so in multiple passes so that page numbering, counters, and cross references function without need for forward referencing or concern about dependencies between them. Consequently what is seen in the element view of the browser debug window will not have a one to one correspondence with the elements found in the document. +
