Quick-start

The main folder is the Scaffold folder. The included CSS folder includes some templates you can use and generally shows how to use Scaffold. Feel free to use these stylesheets in your projects. This is how you link to your css so that it is parsed by CSScaffold. You can also setup a .htaccess file to take care of this for you and include them as you normally would. See the example.htaccess in /css/

This:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Becomes this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/scaffold/index.php?request=css/screen.css&recache" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Note: Use 'recache' in the url to force it to recache the css everytime. This is useful during development.
