"This utility was developed as part of Intervals to deal with the problems posed by certain email clients (namely Outlook 2007 and Google Gmail) when it comes to the way they handle styling contained in HTML emails. As many web developers and designers already know, certain email clients are notorious for their lack of CSS support. While attempts are being made to develop common email standards, implementation is still a ways off.
The primary problem with uncooperative email clients is that most tend to only regard inline CSS, discarding all ‹style› elements and links to stylesheets in ‹link› elements. Emogrifier solves this problem by converting CSS styles into inline style attributes in your HTML code."

"Using Inline Styler from your own applications
A rudimentary API is available for Inline Styler, so you can convert HTML in your own apps.
By POSTing requests to http://inlinestyler.torchboxapps.com/styler/convert/you can receive a plain-text response containing your converted HTML.
POST variables are:
* returnraw (required): Any value. This is vital as it ensures the returned reponse contains just your converted HTML, not the full page from the web-interface version.
* source (optional): HTML text. Your raw HTML to be converted
* source_url (optional): Valid URL. To be used instead of source. Pass a valid URL at which your source can be foundAnd remember: a server is for life, not just for christmas – please be kind to it and use this API respectfully"

"Video: An Introduction to CSScaffold
I'm working on my own spin on CSS frameworks, except that mine is a little bit different. It requires PHP to make CSS better, rather then relying on the bad system that we have to work with.
I've been working on my own type of CSS framework lately. When Shaun Inman released the update to the Server-Side CSS Processor last year, Ⅰ jumped on the bandwagon and made a layout plugin for it, which then turned into a Coda Plugin. After toying with each of these methods, Ⅰ decided that Cacheer was the way to go."

"DtCSS is a PHP script that preprocesses your CSS file. It speeds up CSS coding by extending the features to CSS. Such as nested selectors, color mixing and more. DtCSS reads the CSS file with special syntax written for DtCSS, and outputs the standard CSS. It also comes with a smart caching system."
