User blog comment:Trollocool/Styling your infoboxes/@comment-26402117-20160911142434

Great blog, helps reinforce what I've learnt already and touch on flexbox CSS too :D

Its nice to have a structured markup for infoboxes that has native compatibility with Mercury. Its also truly nice for Wikia to provide a default theme that borrows from the local wiki's theming and simplifies customization for those who want to adopt PIs without much CSS.

I'm hard at work on a PI rollout (instead of just changing to div infoboxes in order to get rid of design tables), so I have a few questions:


 * 1) Is it advisable to declare   as a larger value for   if the wiki has longish labels, or to declare a flex-basis specific to any theme?
 * 2) Do you think   should be italicised for captions by default?
 * 3) How would one go about building a   with corresponding CSS for a wiki with more complex PIs than mine, and what stages would it involve?
