Actually, i have been playing w/ this just now and it isn't so hard.
You can manipulate the DOM and then get the resultant html w/ this
command:
$('html').html();
You can then write it to a file. The Only problem is that it takes off
the Doctype declaration and the <html> </html> tags, which may have some
information such as language and RTL or LTR orientation
My karma.js script could do this.
This plugin may help us generate the css from a template but I need to
play w/ it
