Facilitate use of more than one CSS file at the same time

[Eric Myers]

Right now one can only specify one CSS stylesheet file for the entire web site. It would be useful to be able to specify several, eg one for the whole web site theme, one for forums, one for some special functionality (I have in mind some CSS I have to facilitate pop-up menus).

One way to do this would be to make STYLESHEET a comma separated list.

In any case, keep in mind that the order of loading style sheets matters, so any mechanism should be documented and mention that fact.

I don't see the use for that; what's wrong with using @import "stylesheet2.css"; in primary CSS file?

Replying to Rytis:

Because I didn't know about that <shrug>. Now I do.

So if we can document this well enough then that is a better alternative.

Also, there seem to be a lot of quirks with @import, so this would add some flexibility.

Comma, semicolon, or space separated list? I can implement it and you can review my work.

[Eric Myers]

Sure, comma, semicolon, or space as separator. Why require one when you can honor all?

Since r17819, BOINC uses main.css (hardcoded) + STYLESHEET.
