Cards, as in general css lingo, are usually smaller html boxes,
usually contained in a grid (defined by the Section). But they may
be form fields, or features (svg).
Cards have data and options like the other elements.

Merged also manages images, adding deleting, renaming, even a small editor.
Images are stored in the assets folder. With the Pages, Sections and Cards they
define the content that users can change.
Images merge into the upstream in the same way as the pages, through
git actions (partially done by Merged)
## Change (-sets)
### Change (-sets)
As data is in files, all change happens by git.
Merged partially manages this, by making changes visible to the
users, ie what Pages and Images were added/removed or edited.
Merged can commit and in the future maybe even push.
### Basic setup
Merged requires a user to be logged in and will log all changes, meaning
change times and the email of the editor. The last change is displayed in
the ui for auditing purposes.

Include merged stylesheet to your layout (NOT asset
pipeline).
### Stylesheets
#### Apps not using tailwind
Include merged stylesheet to your layout or asset
pipeline.
```
= stylesheet_link_tag "application"
= stylesheet_link_tag "merged/merged"
= stylesheet_link_tag "tailwind" , "inter-font", "data-turbo-track": "reload"
```
If you use tailwind with the basic install, add it _before_ tailwind,
and switch preflight off in the apps tailwind config file (config/tailwind.config.js). Otherwise tailwind will reset the styles from merged
or the other way around.
#### Apps using tailwind
If you use tailwind with the basic install, you need to edit the tailwind config.
Basically it is impossible to have two tailwind generated stylesheets, so your app needs to pick
up the merged styles. This can be configured like so:
```
corePlugins: {
preflight: false,
}
const output = execSync('bundle show merged', { encoding: 'utf-8' });
const fullname = output.trim() + '/app/**/*.{haml,html,rb}' ;
module.exports = {
content: [
fullname ,
.... as before
]
```
## Developers
### Styles
Developers should look at the predefined styles. These are found in
merged gem /config/merged/**style.yml
And on a running app http://localhost:3000/merged/styles/index
### Section Views
These are under app/views/merged/views/sections/*haml
and the name of the file matches the section_style entry
Developers may define more section styles, but must provide the partials to render them.
### Card Views
These are under app/views/merged/views/cards/*haml
and the name of the file matches the card entry.
Developers may define more card styles, but must provide the partials to render them.
### Options
Option definitions (also found under style dir) are common between elements.
Options may be added and then used in the view partials. Many common ones (background,
color) and many more are already defined.
To make the partials more dry, Helpers are defined in OptionsHelper
