+=head1 NAME
+
+SL::Layout::Base - Base class for layouts
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ package SL::Layout::MyLayout;
+
+ use parent qw(SL::Layout::Base);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+For a description about the external interface of layouts in general see
+L<SL::Layout::Dispatcher>.
+
+This is a base class for layouts in general. It provides the basic interface
+and some capabilities to extend and cascade layouts.
+
+
+=head1 IMPLEMENTING LAYOUT CALLBACKS
+
+There are eight callbacks (C<pre_content>, C<post_content>, C<start_content>,
+C<end_content>, C<stylesheets>, C<stylesheets_inline>, C<javscripts>,
+C<javascripts_inline>) which are documented in L<SL::Layout::Dispatcher>. If
+you are writing a new simple layout, you can just override some of them like
+this:
+
+ package SL::Layout::MyEvilLayout;
+
+ sub pre_content {
+ '<h1>This is MY page now</h1>'
+ }
+
+ sub post_content {
+ '<p align="right"><small><em>Brought to you by my own layout class</em></small></p>'
+ }
+
+
+To preserve the sanitizing effects of C<stylesheets> and C<javascripts> you should instead do the following:
+
+ sub stylesheets {
+ $_[0]->add_stylesheets(qw(mystyle1.css mystyle2.css);
+ $_[0]->SUPER::stylesheets;
+ }
+
+If you want to add something to a different layout, you should write a sub
+layout and add it to the other layouts.
+
+
+=head1 SUB LAYOUTS
+
+Layouts can be aggregated, so that common elements can be used in different
+layouts. Currently this is used for the L<None|SL::Layout::None> sub layout,
+which contains a lot of the stylesheets and javascripts necessary. Another
+example is the L<Top|SL::Layout::Top> layout, which is used to generate a
+common top bar for all menu types.
+
+To add a sub layout to your layout just overwrite the sub_layout method:
+
+ package SL::Layout::MyFinalLayout;
+
+ sub init_sub_layout {
+ [
+ SL::Layout::None->new,
+ SL::Layout::MyEvilLayout->new,
+ ]
+ }
+
+You can also add a sublayout at runtime:
+
+ $layout->add_sub_layout(SL::Layout::SideBar->new);
+
+The standard implementation for the callbacks will see to it that the contents
+of all sub layouts will get rendered.
+
+
+=head1 COMBINING SUB LAYOUTS AND OWN BEHAVIOUR
+
+This is still somewhat rough, and improvements are welcome.
+
+For the C<*_content> callbacks this works if you just remember to dispatch to the base method:
+
+ sub post_content {
+ return $_[0]->render_status_bar .
+ $_[0]->SUPER::post_content
+ }
+
+For the stylesheet and javascript callbacks things are hard, because of the
+backwards compatibility, and the built-in sanity checks. The best way currently
+is to just add your content and dispatch to the base method.
+
+ sub stylesheets {
+ $_[0]->add_stylesheets(qw(mystyle1.css mystyle2.css);
+ $_[0]->SUPER::stylesheets;
+ }
+
+=head1 GORY DETAILS ABOUT JAVASCRIPT AND STYLESHEET OVERLOADING
+
+The original code used to store one stylehsheet in C<< $form->{stylesheet} >> and
+allowed/expected authors of potential C<bin/mozilla/> controllers to change
+that into their own modified stylesheet.
+
+This was at some point cleaned up into a method C<use stylesheet> which took a
+string of space separated stylesheets and processed them into the response.
+
+A lot of controllers are still using this methods so the layout interface
+supports it to change as few controller code as possible, while providing the
+more intuitive C<add_stylesheets> method.
+
+At the same time the following things need to be possible:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item 1.
+
+Runtime additions.
+
+ $layout->add_stylesheets(...)
+
+Since add_stylesheets adds to C<< $self->{stylesheets} >> there must be a way to read
+from it. Currently this is the deprecated C<use_stylesheet>.
+
+=item 2.
+
+Overriding Callbacks
+
+A leaf layout should be able to override a callback to return a list.
+
+=item 3.
+
+Sanitizing
+
+C<stylesheets> needs to retain it's sanitizing behaviour.
+
+=item 4.
+
+Aggregation
+
+The standard implementation should be able to collect from sub layouts.
+
+=item 5.
+
+Preserving of Inclusion Order
+
+Since there is currently no standard way of mixing own content and including
+sub layouts, this has to be done manually. Certain things like jquery get added
+in L<SL::Layout::None> so that they get rendered first.
+
+=back
+
+The current implementation provides no good candidate for overriding in sub
+classes, which should be changed. The other points work pretty well.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+None yet, if you don't count the horrible stylesheet/javascript interface.

+=head1 NAME
+
+SL::Layout::Dispatcher - provides layouts by name.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use SL::Layout::Dispatcher;
+ $::request->layout(SL::Layout::Dispatcher->new(style => 'login'));
+
+ # same as
+
+ use SL::Layout::Login;
+ $::request->layout(SL::Layout::Login->new);
+
+=head1 INTRODUCTION
+
+A layout in kivitendo is anything that should be included into a text/html
+response without having each controller do it manually. This includes:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+menus
+
+=item *
+
+status bars
+
+=item
+
+div containers for error handling and ajax responses
+
+=item *
+
+javascript and css includes
+
+=item *
+
+html header and body
+
+=back
+
+It does not include:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+http headers
+
+=item *
+
+anthing that is not a text/html response
+
+=back
+
+All of these tasks are handled by a layout object, which is stored in the
+global L<$::request|SL::Request> object. An appropriate layout object will be
+chosen during the login/session_restore process.
+
+
+=head1 INTERFACE
+
+Every layout must be instantiated from L<SL::Layout::Base> and must implement
+the following eight callbacks:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<pre_content>
+
+Content that must, for whatever reason, appear before the main content.
+
+=item C<start_content>
+
+An introcutory clause for the main content. Usually something like C<< <div
+class='content'> >>.
+
+=item C<end_content>
+
+The corresponding end of L</start_content> like C<< </div> >>
+
+=item C<post_content>
+
+Any extra content that should appear after the main content in the response
+source. Note that it is preferred to put extra content after the main content,
+so that it gets rendered faster.
+
+=item C<stylesheets>
+
+A list of stylesheets that should be included as a full relative web path. Will
+be rendered into the html header.
+
+=item C<stylesheets_inline>
+
+A list of stylesheet snippets that need to be included in the response. Will be
+added to the html header.
+
+=item C<javascripts>
+
+A list of javascripts that should be included as a full relative web path.
+
+Note:
+There is no guarantee where these will end up in the content. Currently they
+will be rendered into the header, but are likely to be moved into the footer in
+the future.
+
+=item C<javascripts_inline>
+
+A list of javascript snippets that need to be included in the response.
+
+Note:
+These will end up in the footer, so make sure they don't contain
+initializations to static javascript includes that may be included earlier.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 RUNTIME INTERFACE
+
+Each layout object can add stylesheets and javascripts at runtime, as long as
+its before the actual rendering has begun. This can be used to add special
+javascripts only your controller needs.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<add_stylesheets>
+
+Adds the list of arguments to the list of used stylesheets.
+
+These will first be searched in the theme folder for the current user, and only
+after that be searched from the common C<css/> folder.
+
+Duplicated files will be only included once.
+
+Non-existing files will be pruned from the list.
+
+=item C<use_stylesheet>
+
+Backwards compatible alias for C<add_stylesheets>. Deprecated.
+
+=item C<add_javascripts>
+
+Adds the list of arguments to the list of used javascripts.
+
+Duplicated files will be only included once.
+
+Non-existing files will be pruned from the list.
+
+=item C<use_javascript>
+
+Backwards compatible alias for C<add_javascripts>. Deprecated.
+
+=item C<add_javascripts_inline>
+
+Add a snippet of javascript.
+
+=item C<add_stylesheets_inline>
+
+Add a snippet of css.
+
+=item C<focus>
+
+If set with a selector, the layout will generate javascript to set the page
+focus to that selector on document.ready.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+None yet :)
+
+=head1 TODO
+
+non existing css or js includes should generate a log entry.
