    Knyle Style Sheets might be of interest to anyone thinking about documentation on the CSS end of things.

    It is

    Inspired by TomDoc, KSS attempts to provide a methodology for writing maintainable, documented CSS within a team. Specifically, KSS is a documentation specification and styleguide format. It is not a preprocessor, CSS framework, naming convention, or specificity guideline. This means it works great with ideas like OOCSS, SMACSS, SASS, and LESS.

    I’ve created a specification for KSS as well as a ruby gem to parse the documentation.

    Looking at the example on the above link, it produces very nice documentation from very simple comments within the CSS. It would take a massive number of hours to duplicate it manually.

    Rails engine for the above.

    Oh, and this: Instead, we added some extra code to our buttons so that they can be selected with CSS, so that people can build skins which hide the 'Share' button (or indeed any other button).

    OMG yay! Is this likely to be in the next deploy?

      Very neat! Thanks very much, we'll check it out.

      And yes, the button select changes should be in the next deploy. :)
