BASE THEME
ABSTRACTION
AS LITTLE LOGIC AS POSSIBLE(?)
NAUGHTY WORDPRESS<title>
<?php
global $page, $paged;
wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
bloginfo( 'name' );
$site_description = get_bloginfo(
'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && (
is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
echo " | $site_description";
if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
...
?>
</title>
BETTER: MEDIAWIKI
<title>
<?php $this->text('pagetitle') ?>
</title>
NICER MODX
<title>
[*pagetitle*] | [(site_name)]

<head>
<jdoc:include type="head" />
...
</head>
BETTER? MAGENTO
<head>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('head') ?>
</head>
ABSTRACTION
AS LITTLE LOGIC AS POSSIBLE
ABSTRACTION
(BUT WE WANT LOGIC CHOICE)
GRANULARITY
CONTROL WHERE IT MATTERS
MEDIAWIKI
<?php
if ( $boxName == 'navigation' ) {
print '<nav>';
$this->customBox('navigation', $cont);
print '</nav>';
}
?>
MEDIAWIKI
<ul>
<li id="n-Home">
<a href="...">Home</a>
</li>
<li id="n-About">
<a href="...">About</a>
</li>
</ul>
MODX
<div id="navigation">
[!Wayfinder?startId=‘0’!]
</div>
...
<li[+wf.classes+]>
<a href="[+wf.link+]">
<em>[+wf.linktext+]</em>
</a>[+wf.wrapper+]
</li>
DRUPAL
<?php
print render($page['navigation']);
?>
GRANULARITY
BUT WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE?
IT’S BLURRY
CLASSTASTIC + DIVTASTIC
@PHILSHERRY
GRANULARITY OVERLAP
<ul>
<li class="collapsed first">
<a href="/about">About Us</a>
</li>
...
<li class="leaf last">
<a href="/contact">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
GRANULARITY OVERLAP
ul li:first-of-type {
