Vlado,
Stay tuned with what's going on with the "Base Theme" movement. I'm not sure how much this will change things in Drupal themeing, but it's something to keep an eye on for sure. It will need MUCH documentation when we launch it.
OK, let me rephrase it, again.
With the split-up scripts, I can essentially generate 'visual' or 'designer' clues, i.e. html snippets. That can be done automatically, as long as I can tell the script what argument in a particular theme function is of what type.
The base idea is to make something like "unit" html snippets for each function. It can't be 100% automated - I need the descriptions. I'll prepare the code, but I might need help to add to the argument descriptions if this is to be done quicker.
So that's why I'm asking for ideas, and later on for help. The code, I suppose is not going to change (a lot) between 4.7 and HEAD, and if it does I'll maintain it. But the descriptions? It is too much for one person, who is lazy, and doesn't want to go (more) insane.
Think of this as a first stage for 'unit tests' for templates ;) Cheers Vlado
