I did think it was somewhat of a long-shot. 🙂 I saw ‘api reference’ and thought I’d chance it.

I think my ridiculously wide-of-the-mark answer may have already revealed my inexperience in this area, but (at the risk of doing exactly the same thing again 🙂) I think there are some good general pointers in the [Developing Discourse Themes & Theme Components](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648) if you’ve not seen that already?

But hopefully someone more knowledgable will turn up and be able to offer something actually helpful. 🤞 🙂
