<br>
I just did a style facelift on the members section:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.algorithm.setops.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.algorithm.setops.html</a><br>
<br>
(and yes, that's mostly css style! I did a minor change to the html, you can see the old here: <a href="http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.html</a> (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.)<br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
If you go into a thing: <a href="http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.write.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.write.html</a> 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.<br>
<br>
BTW the recent push that makes constraints small and grey, check this out for example:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_sorting.html#completeSort" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_sorting.html#completeSort</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
This reform is not appeasing my revolution....<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
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!<br>
