Activate templatestyles by Index page css field
- Problem: templatestyles extension is almost magic into wikisource environment, but there's the need to activate easily it into all pages of an Index.
- Who would benefit: all contributors
- Proposed solution: to allow optionally to fill Index page css field with a valid templatestyle page. A simple regex could be used to see if css field content contains a valid css or a valid page name.
- More comments: Presently it.wikisource and nap.wikisource are testing other tricks to load work-specific templatestyles into all pages of an Index, with very interesting results.

- Reproducing original books is inherently layout and formatting heavy, presenting books to readers is inherently layout and formatting heavy. Inline formatting templates are carrying a lot of weight right now, with somewhat severe limitations and very little semantics. Getting a good system for playing with the power of CSS would help a lot. --Xover (talk) 11:08, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
