The goal of this presentation is to explain how to minimize the markup that Drupal outputs, and gain complete control over the what and the where of the markup.
Using the system described herein, we can coerce the HTML output of Drupal to match provided designs, or pre-existing HTML Layouts. We are not forced to try to make the Drupal default HTML output look like the design.
