Sitemesh3 custom properties

[Bryn Cooke]

Hi

I'm taking a look at sitemesh3 as it is one of the few templating frameworks that can deal with non XML markup which is ideal for html5.

In the sitemesh3 documentation it says:
"The <sitemesh:write property='...'/> tag will be rewritten by SiteMesh to include properties extracted from the content. There are more properties that can be extracted from the content and it's possible to define your own rules - that will be covered in another tutorial."

I'm not sure the other tutorial exists yet, can anyone give me a pointer as to how to extract properties other than body, head and title? Perhaps I can write it up for the wiki.

Thanks in advance,

Bryn

OK, I figured this out.

I can add the DivExtractingTagRuleBundle when building the filter:

builder.addTagRuleBundle(new DivExtractingTagRuleBundle());

After which any div with an id becomes a property that can be replaced e.g.

if I have a 

<div id="content">

Something

</div>

Then this will write it out:

<sitemesh:write property='div.content' />

Thanks for sharing your solution Byrn!
