(Good link, Gaia!) The only time shorter text length bothers me is when I'm reading code samples that line wrap too much, otherwise, I find a shorter column to be nice because I can have my reference doc up on the left side of my monitor, and use the application on the right.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 12:05 PM, Gaia <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gaia.clary@machinimatrix.org" target="_blank">gaia.clary@machinimatrix.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>Hi;<br>
<br>
+1 for making the manual more pretty and better readable. <br>
Your suggestion are all looking good to me.<br>
<br>
i have 2 remarks though:<span class=""><br>
<ul>
<li>Navigation Bar showing whole tree</li>
</ul></span>
I'd appreciate that as well, but then please also add a <br>
reasonable collapse/expand function into the navigation bar...<br>
<ul>
<li>Page width larger</li>
</ul>
<p>I am not sure if this is a good idea. I always try to take care
to use <br>
an average of 12-15 words per line of text. Because otherwise <br>
it becomes extremely difficult to read (for me at least). So i
actually <br>
would prefer to keep the width as it is.<br>
</p>
<p>Here is a link to an article that seems worthwhile to be read,<br>
as it contains a lot of additional information about "how people
read":<br>
</p>

</p>
That text might be more convincing than my personal preferences :)<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

<div>Hey all :)<br>
<br>
</div>
I've written down some ideas for improving the
appearance of the manual, which would mostly be
done with just some CSS tweaks.<br>
<br>
</div>
Roughly:<br>
<ul>
<li>Navigation Bar showing whole tree<br>
</li>
<li>Reference Box formatting and consistency<br>
</li>
<li>Broken Links more apparent<br>
</li>
<li>Image Captions to look more like captions<br>
</li>
<li>More space after italics<br>
</li>
<li>Clear Search Highlight</li>
<li>Page Width larger<br>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
But read the full page here for details: <a href="http://gregzaal.com/junk/html/proposals/visual_improvements.html" target="_blank">http://gregzaal.com/junk/html/proposals/visual_improvements.html</a><br>
<br>
</div>
Do you agree/disagree with any of these ideas? Do you
have any other suggestions?<br>
<br>
</div>
Cheers,<br>
</div>
Greg<br>
