Html conventions

[Jeremy D. Miller]

I'm finally trying to pull in the pull request on html conventions:  https://github.com/DarthFubuMVC/fubumvc/pull/158

I haven't put any effort into this code in over a year, so it's taking a bit to get back into things and understand how the new Form conventions will fit in.  Along the way I'm starting to get concerned that the TagGenerator/ITagGenerator interface and class is getting a bit bloated -- or definitely will fast when form element conventions and whatever else we think of starts to come along.

    public interface ITagGenerator

    {

        void SetModel(object model);

        void SetProfile(string profileName);

        HtmlTag LabelFor(ElementRequest request);

        HtmlTag InputFor(ElementRequest request);

        HtmlTag DisplayFor(ElementRequest request);

        string ElementPrefix { get; set; }

        string CurrentProfile { get; }

        ElementRequest GetRequest(Accessor accessor);

        HtmlTag BeforePartial(ElementRequest request);

        HtmlTag AfterPartial(ElementRequest request);

        HtmlTag AfterEachofPartial(ElementRequest request, int current, int count);

        HtmlTag BeforeEachofPartial(ElementRequest request, int current, int count);

    }

I'd kind of like to know if anyone is using the BeforePartial / AfterPartial things.  I *think* I'd like to start pulling this kind of stuff into separate services to avoid the bloat that I think is coming fast.  Any thoughts?

I think that came from the 9 Collective guys quite a while ago.
