S3, anyone?

Thanks to the good people on the LJ support team (and tangyapple), I now know how to use S2 styles to get my comments pages in the same style as my main page and link to an external stylesheet. However, S2 sets a lot of variables which override my stylesheet, so the result is still yucky - I'm going to have to look through the HTML source and re-over-ride each thing.

What I propose is an S3 system - let users do everything through one CSS stylesheet.

Kaspaliste

I have just installed kaspaliste, a literature database. Actually, I was just looking for a simple interface to BibTeX (pybliographic is broken for some reason) but got carried away.

Kaspaliste uses a database (postgresql) to store information about publications (in fact setting up the database was a major pain, since I have no experience in postgresql, and little experience in any kind of database). This makes it much more powerful than BibTeX on its own - you can link bibliography entries to notes, cross-reference authors and publishers, and link to a file with the actual text, if you have it. Well, you can do the last one in theory, but I haven't managed to do it yet. There is even a link to your scanner/OCR programs, which would be great if I had a scanner at home.

In other words, I'm not sure if kaspaliste is the bibliography tool I've always been looking for or a horrendous waste of time.
