The following patch adds a footer div on all pages to ease CSS themeing.
Indeed, the misc.tmpl, recentchanges.tmpl and editpage.tmpl templates lack such a div.

> So, the problem with this is that the default css inserts a horizontal
> line at the top of the footer div, and putting an empty footer on these
> other pages looks a bit weird. Any idea how to get around that?

>> So we could add some new divs in all templates. By default, they will

>> The new page structure could be:

>> * div banner (to show up a logo for example)

>> * div content-wrap containing div header, div actions, ... div content
>> and div footer

>> * div realfooter (to put credits, "Powered by ikiwiki", "Valid XHTML"...)

>> From my tests, it works: Just adding the divs, without touching the stylesheet,
>> doesn't change ikiwiki appearance. And themeing is eased :-)

>> I can update the patch, if you want to follow and test this idea. --Fred

>>> Sure, go ahead --[[Joey]]
