[wp-hackers] Zen-Coding for WordPress?

[Philip Walton]

If anyone is interested. I've put together some documentation on the PHP 
- Zen Coding project I wrote about a few weeks ago. Here is the URI: 
http://philipwalton.com/2011/04/06/zen-coding-for-php-and-wordpress/

I've optomized it for WordPress to take advantage of functions like 
esc_attr() and esc_url() so developers don't have to worry about that stuff.

Here's a quick example:

echo $zc->expand(
   '.posts>ul>li.post$*6',
   array("Red","Orange","Yellow","Green","Blue","Violet")
);

outputs:

<div class="posts">
   <ul>
     <li class="post1">Red</li>
     <li class="post2">Orange</li>
     <li class="post3">Yellow</li>
     <li class="post4">Green</li>
     <li class="post5">Blue</li>
     <li class="post6">Violet</li>
   </ul>
</div>
