Template class persistence

[dbolack-ab]

Description

This adds the concept of Template class persistence at the \page level.

If a \page has a {} block, the parsed attributes are examined. If one is named hbtemplate the value is stored in a lookup table.

If a page lacks a Template , the lookup table is walked backwards until a template name is found or the beginning of the document is found.

If a template name is found, it is added to the attributes for the page.

examples:

\page {hbtemplate=colophon}

This page would use the colophon template.

\page {hbtemplate=chapter}
\page

Both of these pages will use the chapter template.

*Reviewers, refer to this list when testing features, or suggest new items *

• Verify new features are functional
  • Adding hbtemplate=foo shows in the page div classes.
  • Adding hbtemplate=foo shows in pages following that do not have an hbtemplate set
  • Adding hbtemplate=foo shows in pages following that do not have an hbtemplate set until a page adds its own hbtemplate
• Verify old features have not broken
  • If no hbtemplate attribute is used, behaves as before.
• Test for edge cases / try to break things
• Identify opportunities for simplification and refactoring
• Check for code legibility and appropriate comments
