This is a post we've been meaning to do for awhile but have had our hands tied for the time being with the site upgrade. We released our 1.4.1 Xenbase stable update this past week and so this post will touch upon a few of those updates.

This was a rather significant change-log and so we may be missing certain things out as it's was in development for quite some time.

Is there documentation for XB anywhere?

Lots of little questions which some documentation might help with.

For example, in Core, the font is set as "@xb_webfont_primary" but where's that defined?

What does a "footer layout" of 1 mean?
 
Unfortunately it's one thing we're lacking in is the documentation.

With 1.4 we moved a lot of the initial setup of the style into : [XB] General

The primary fonts/sizes, border radius, width is all there now.

I think Brivium released a documentation add-on which could help speed up the process.
