I'd like to run this by as an idea. Today, the announcement at the top of our website is controlled by this file:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/brand.mdtext The "announce" and "announceurl" values then enter into the templating process via: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/templates/brand.html Specifically: {% block announce %}{% if headers.announce %}<div id="announce"><a href="{{ headers.announceurl }}" title="{{ headers.announcetip }}">{{ headers.announce }}</a></div>{% endif %}{% endblock %} So what if we want to support images there as well? Two approaches: 1) Add additional possible value for brand.mdtext, "announceimage". Change logic in brand.html so it follows some precedence order, say look for announceimage first, if that exists, put an <img> there, otherwise look for announce and display that as a <a> hyperlink. 2) Or, we could just change announce so it is the contents of a <div>. So brand.html is actually simplified, and brand.mdtext would contain the actual markup. For example, it could be: announce=<a href="foo.html"><img src="foo.jpg" alt="foo"/></a> #2 has the advantage of flexibility, that it allows other kinds of markup to be inserted there, including lists, tables, etc.. Of course, UI-wise, there is not a lot of space to play with, but it would have that flexibility. Any thoughts? -Rob
