Improved Web Content Portlet

[dee factorial <de...@gmail.com>]

Currently the webcontent portlet does not support css.
I was thinking that one way to implement css would be to create a css
rewriter that downloaded the css files and created html rewrite tag rules
from the css file.
I have browsed through the rewrite source code to try and get a handle on
what its doing.
I found the default-rewriter-rules.xml and rewriter-rules-mapping.xml
and I found the java files under components/rewriter
I also found this article that might help in defining what is needed to be
done.

please correct me on my terminology and my implementation strategy.

Rewrite the links during header phase, and add any CSS content inline  
directly to the head also during header phase

when you say write out the css content do you mean a link to a css page or
do you mean reading the css files and then writing them in the portlet
header.

I think that there could also be links in the css files so those would need
to be rewriten as well.

I think the CSS could be added to the Header phase of the portlet
Take a look at the AbstractDojoVelocityPortlet.java, and the doHeader  
method
You would need to change the WebContentPortlet to support the header  
phase, and write out the CSS content at this point
At least that is the general high level plan i had in mind...
