February Presentation:
Optimizing Drupal 7 HTML Markup Using Panels, Page Manager, and Fences
Jim Birch, Xeno Media

I have been searching for a way to make Drupal output cleaner, lighter, more semantic HTML since I started theming. The goal of my approach here is to minimize the markup that Drupal outputs, and gain complete control over the what and the where of the markup. We can gain control of the fields using the Fences module; gain control over the templates in the theme; and gain even more control over the placement and what gets loaded using ctools' Page Manager and Panels. I will step through each of these items in detail in this presentation.
