Description
-----------

[CSS](https://css-raku.github.io/CSS-raku) is a module for parsing style-sheets and applying them to HTML or XML documents.

This module aims to be W3C compliant and complete, including: style-sheets, media specific and inline styling and the application of HTML specific styling (based on tags and attributes).

Methods
-------

### method new

```raku
method new(
    LibXML::Document :$doc!,       # document to be styled.
    CSS::Stylesheet :$stylesheet!, # stylesheet to apply
    CSS::TagSet :$tag-set,         # tag-specific styling
    CSS::Media :$media,            # target media
    Bool :$inherit = True,         # perform property inheritance
    :%include (                    # External stylesheet loading:
        Bool :$imports = False,    # - enable '@import' directives
        Bool :$links = False,      # - load <link../> tags (XHTML)
    ),
    URI() :$base-url = $doc.URI,   # base URL for imports and links
) returns CSS;
```

In particular, the `CSS::TagSet :$tag-set` options specifies a tag-specific styler; For example CSS::TagSet::XHTML. 

### method style

```raku
multi method style(LibXML::Element:D $elem) returns CSS::Properties;
multi method style(Str:D $xpath) returns CSS::Properties;
```

Computes a style for an individual element, or XPath to an element.

### method page-properties

```raku
method page-properties(Bool :$first, Bool :$right, Bool :$left,
                       Str :$margin-box --> CSS::Properties)
```

Query and extract `@page` at rules.

The `:first`, `:right` and `:left` flags can be used to select rules applicable to a given logical page.

In addition, the `:margin-box` can be used to select a specific [Page Margin Box](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-page-3/#margin-boxes). For example given the at-rule `@page { margin:2cm; size:a4; @top-center { content: 'Page ' counter(page); } }`, the top-center page box properties can be selected with `$stylesheet.page(:margin-box<top-center>)`.

### method font-face

```raku
multi method font-face() returns Array[CSS::Font::Descriptor]
multi method font-face($family) returns CSS::Font::Descriptor
```

  * `font-face()` returns a list of all fonts declared with `@font-face` at-rules

  * `font-face($family)` returns font-properties for the given font-family;

### method prune

```raku
method prune(LibXML::Element $node? --> LibXML::Element)
```

Removes all XML nodes with CSS property `display:none;`, giving an approximate representation of a CSS rendering tree.

For example, if an HTML document with an XHTML tag-set is pruned the `head` element will be removed because it has the property `display:none;`. Any other elements that have had `display:none;' applied to them via the tag-set, inline CSS, or CSS Selectors are also removed.

By default, this method acts on the root element of the associated $.doc XML document.

### method font-sources

```raku
method font-sources(CSS::Font() $font) returns Array[CSS::Font::Resources::Source]
```

Returns a list of [CSS::Font::Resources::Source](https://css-raku.github.io/CSS-Font-Resources-raku/CSS/Font/Resources/Source) objects for natching source fonts, based on `@font-face` rules and (as a fallback) the font's name and characterstics.

Utility Scripts
---------------

  * `css-inliner.raku input.xml [output.xml] --style=file.css --prune --tags --type=html|pango|pdf --inherit`

Apply internal or external style-sheets to per-element 'style' attributes
