Tárgy: Re: [exim-dev] Website redesign - feedback roundup
Look again at the documentation pages (the rest has barely been touched),
and you will see things have changed:-
- we have indexes - 3 of them currently, embedded as chapters.
- top bar has been tweaked
- formatting tweaked (in particular for option lists)

Indexes... we have them...

Search box has moved....

Not dealt with that - thinking about it currently....

Actually I think this can be done just using CSS (at a cost of putting the
list for the TOC on every page, rather than pulling in an XML index with
JS as is currently done). You lose the animation effects, and also make
the pages bigger (although the network transfer is likely to be the same
overall).


I guess stuff that I know needs doing (for the docs at least) are:-
  - links to the indexes from each page
  - make the TOC side block fall back to being just a link if
    there is no javascript
  - maybe index tidying
  - section navigation within chapters (which helps the indexes too)
