Hey leiger, I was looking at this extension's code and decided to read Wikidot's documentation again since I've never used the arguments hide or disable with the css module. I was trying to figure out a use case for them. The official doc page is very fuzzy and may have a mistake on how to use the arguments. It says:

Arguments

You can render the CSS block in a [[code type="css"]] block by adding:

• show="true"

You can disable the CSS block by adding:

• disable="true"

Is the [[code type="css"]] a typo? Should it be [[module css]]? I know you have editing rights for the docs. Can you clean it up so it makes more sense and maybe provide an example or two?

Thanks!

I didn't even know those two options existed - until I decided to do a quick check of the docs before creating this extension :)

show

When set to true, this makes whatever code you typed into the CSS module get rendered on the page as if you had actually typed it like this:

[[code type="css"]]
/* code from within CSS module */
[[/code]]

But if I remember correctly, I tried accessing it using /code/1 and it didn't show up - so it's not rendered 100% the same way as the CSS code blocks are.

disable

This disables the CSS module so that it doesn't actually do anything. Seems a bit pointless, to be honest, but it might help when trying to debug something.

If you have show="true" and disable="true", then the CSS module looks and acts just as if you had used a CSS code block. The code is shown rendered on the page, but it doesn't affect the theme because it's been disabled.

OK, I get it now. The doc page should be updated with what you just explained.

I did update the documentation page for the CSS module. Let me know if you have any suggestion to make it better… wasn't really sure how I should re-phrase it.
