An object oriented WordPress template engine supporting inheritance with infinite nesting.

This project is no longer being maintained.

Any project using it should replace it with something else, and any theme using either Fractal itself or Fractal patterns in its theme should have said theme be rewritten.

Add a fractal/ directory to your theme file, including at least two files: fractal.base.html and fractal.index.html.

Standard template files like index.php and page.php are required as always, because of WordPress' template redirect system. E.g., if we're rendering an archive page for a custom post type "book", WordPress will first try to load archive-book.php. If that doesn't exist, it will fall back to archive.php. If that doesn't exist, it will fall back to index.php. (See Template Hierarchy on the Codex).

With Fractal, it is recommended to only use standard template files to declare their inheritance of Fractal templates that live inside of the the fractal/ directory.
