A published event from a first content element executing within a framework may be detected. In response, a registry may be searched for one or more registered events that match the published event, and if a matching registered event is found, a second content element that registered said matching registered event may be instantiated to start executing within the framework. The second content element is dynamically aggregated into the framework based on the published event without the first content element needing to have previous knowledge of the second content element, and without the second content element needing to have previous knowledge of the first content element. The framework also does not need to be designed initially to deploy the second content element. Which one or more content elements to aggregate into the framework may be determined at run time rather than at design time.

Cascading style sheet rules are managed by identifying a markup page of content items and designating a plurality of super-themes using markup elements. Super-themes associate at least one content item of the markup page with a corresponding cascading style sheet class. Cascading style sheet rules are further managed by loading a common cascading style sheet and automatically modifying the common cascading style sheet to use each super-theme as a parent selector for at least one cascading style sheet rule applied to at least one content item within the markup element associated with the super-theme.
