[TYPO3] Content header wrapping?

Short answer: yes.

I'm afraid, this is unclear. lib.stdheader is indeed shared by all  
types of content elements. Why is that not good for you? Maybe you  
want on Text elements? Could you clarify please?

Well, it can't work, because tt_content.header is a COA which has no  
outerWrap property. It has a stdWrap.outerWrap property though...

So maybe what you mean actually is that you want only content  
elements of type Header to be wrapped?

Fine, but you will have one difficulty: the different content  
elements do not all have the same structure. So for wrapping a Text  
content element, you can do:

tt_content.text.20.wrap = <div class="content">|</div>

For an Image content element, you need to use

tt_content.image.20.stdWrap.wrap = <div class="content">|</div>

but you will have problem with the Text + Picture content element  
type, because of the line:

tt_content.textpic.20.text.20 =< tt_content.text.20

This reference means that your <div class="content">|</div> content  
wrap will also appear again inside your textpic construct.

And since tt_content.textpic.20.text.20 is a reference, you cannot  
just remove the wrap by setting:

tt_content.textpic.20.text.20.wrap >

The solution I found was to change the reference to a copy:

tt_content.textpic.20.text.20 < tt_content.text.20

And then I could do

tt_content.textpic.20.text.20.wrap >

You will have to adapt those samples to each content element type.

And I may be wrong about the thing with the reference, but at least  
it's what I observed. Another way would be to use the stdWrap of  
tt_content.text.20 rather than the simple wrap, and use the "if"  
property to wrap only if the content element is of type text... It's  
a just thought that occurs to me now, but it may be worth a try...
