Item10434: Pattern Skin styles:user_defined template not properly included during publish stage

Pattern Skin provides a means of adding user specified CSS code via the USERSTYLEURL, USERLAYOUTURL, and USERCOLORSURL preference variables.

Unfortunately, during rendering by PublishPlugin, the block (styles:user_defined) which generates the including HTML for the css files isn't being included. It is properly included during normal rendering.

styles:user_defined is included by the styles:screen block. Both are in templates/css.pattern.tmpl. The relevant section is at the end of the styles:screen definition. It looks like:

%IF{ "$ USERLAYOUTURL or $ USERSTYLEURL or $ USERCOLORSURL" then="$percntTMPL:P{$quotstyles:user_defined$quot}$percnt"}%

I have verified that the %IF% macro is being properly evaluated (by simply adding some extra text to be output) and that the styles:user_defined block is non-empty (by explicitly including it).

The above code looks perfectly valid and I have similar code elsewhere which does essentially the same thing, and it works. I'm stumped on this one.

---

I believe this should work now. Not seen OP for long time so closing this, will be re-opened if necessary.
