Bug Description
Within the html page definitions template in html/ubuntu.xsl for desktop help and in libs/ubuntu.xsl for the serverguide exist div definitions where
there is no related build definition that ends up in the css file.
Therefore the lines are useless, leading to added confusion with something that is already almost impossible to understand.
Examples:
(Desktop-help only):
<div class="
</div>
(Both)
<div id="leftbanner">
</div>
(Both)
<div id="rightbanner">
</div>
The ripple efffect, includes the help.ubuntu.com glue files and the clouddocs files which have taken the resulting html as a template for their manual coding.
This needs to be cleaned up.
If possible, the basic template code should be identical for the desktop help and the serverguide. Beyond the above mentioned "subheader-menu", which will be deleted, that leaves only <div id="subheader">, which while defined in the rsulting css file, remains unclear as to why it is needed. (i.e. serverguide rendering seems identical to desktop help without it.)And note that if it is added to the serverguide, the resulting css file still doesn't end up with the definition. (keep in mind the html build stuff is a little different between the two projects.)

Among other things in the ubuntu.xsl files, the basic html page template seems to have been copied from the helpwiki-
Beyond style sheet usage, other uses for div tags with "id"s are later references by a hyperlink or applet or other automated processes. I just don't see those uses in these cases as being practical. So, I believe these things started as a mess and have continued to propagate as a mess. Now some do make sense, i.e.:
<div id="pagebottom">
</div>
If it is actually referenced or not, I don't know, but the plan is to leave it (and similar ones).
