HTML5 boilerplate

[thwbn]

Hello,

since web stes are no longer sites, but a bunch of sites starting with a index.html/php etc it makes in my mind sence to do not start everyting form the sratch.

Is it possible / does it make sence for you to include an option like "start the project with html 5 boilerplate"* and then to download the actual version of it right into the project folder?


Thanks again

*) I do know the option "create a pattern page", but I mean something like https://html5boilerplate.com/

I don't think it's possible, as you need to save the file before the editor knows the location.
But you could write a small plugin that could copy the contents of html5-boilerplate_v5.3.0.zip into the current folder.

I'll +1 the relevant suggestion, thanks.
I think in this case auto-downloading would be cool, of course, but it could be easier to include the boilerplate with the plugin (or the editor, if it's an integrated feature) and just update the boilerplate files when necessary.

Currently you can use Save as Template and New from Template features, but those won't create the required CSS files - you would have to copy them manually.

I think the default basic HTML5 template included within WeBuilder should be the one used by HTML5 Boilerplate.

Here it is here:
https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerpla ... index.html

Please consider using this for the next WeBuilder update, it would be a good improvement over the one that is currently there. No need to add extra files or anything like that, just update the HTML.

The problem is that this references many local files (js, css) which might not exist.

You can change the default template btw. E.g. if you want to change the template for HTML files, use menu File -> Save As Template, then select HTML -> Default.htm and overwrite it.
