   Hi All,
   Just wondering if someone could help me with a situation.

   I want to be able to apply a css class to the very first word in a widget title, so I can style it accordingly . So no matter what the title of the widget is, the first word would have a class applied to it.

   My problem is that I cant seem to locate the actual script that inserts the title value into the <h3 class="widgettitle">.

   I have found widgets.php which creates the 'thematic_before_title()' and 'thematic_after_title()' .

   But i cant seem to find where it actually add the constructs the title.
   On the widgets.php file it does create "Widget: Thematic Search" and "Widget: Thematic Meta", but i can't seem to find where it actually is creating my text widgets and constructing them with the <h3 class="widgettitle"> title.

   Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.

   Hi,

   as long as the widget is supporting it .. the ones programmed according to the 2.8 style should support something like this:

   function my_widget_title($title) {
       // do whatever is needed to the widget title
       return $title;
   }
   add_filter('widget_title', 'my_widget_title');

   Hello,

   I have a similar question about adding classes to the widget title. What I am looking to do is add the widget title as a class name.

   Something like the following where Foobar is the widget title and added dynamically as the title class:

   
<li class="widgetcontainer widget_text" id="text-5"><h3 class="widgettitle Foobar">Foobar</h3>
<div class="textwidget">Widget content goes in here...</div>

   I was looking at the following, but wasn't quite sure where the "%2$s" came from in the code:

   
// CSS markup before the widget
function thematic_before_widget() {
$content = '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">';
return apply_filters('thematic_before_widget', $content);
}


   Any thoughts would be appreciated!
