Better docs for D (WIP)

[Adam D. Ruppe via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Just want to update y'all that my better docs continue to improve 
with each passing week.

I just did a style facelift on the members section:

http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.algorithm.setops.html

(and yes, that's mostly css style! I did a minor change to the 
html, you can see the old here: 
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.html (well, at 
least until I rebuild the docs of all of Phobos again), but the 
css is the big thing. It is nice having semantic markup.)


So I hope that is more readable. The sidebar is also new over the 
last couple weeks, giving a sorted list of sibling names - 
including package listings.

If you go into a thing: 
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.write.html you 
can see how the sidebar shows the immediate siblings only, which 
makes the list a lot more managable than trying to cram 
everything everywhere. I find the Phobos official sidebar to be 
useless because there's just too much there.

BTW the recent push that makes constraints small and grey, check 
this out for example:

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_sorting.html#completeSort

I feel is no help. The readability is still poor and it doesn't 
help with navigation. In my new members thing, I used a small, 
hoverable prototype... but just on the index. Once you click 
through, I still have the full details, formatted for legibility.

This reform is not appeasing my revolution....



Anyway, I feel that this is really starting to come together 
now... pretty soon, I'll promote it to "alpha" from its current 
state of "pre-alpha". Just gotta write the new search engine 
first!
