If you go to the main contents page on any of the recent manuals (.../index.html) and hit "End" to go to the bottom of the page you don't see the Index or Appendices, you get the bottom-half of "List of xxx". Is it difficult to put these sections on separate pages? Is it a bad idea? I sympathise if people don't like tinkering with the doc generation stuff - I remember trying to get some Jade setup working on RH8 and I still wake up screaming... -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

No. We could simply get rid of them (rather than trying to move them somewhere else), which I would personally support. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

Not wanting to make a habit of replying to myself, but while I'm throwing out ideas without researching them first... If you moved "Internals" before "Reference" you'd have almost all the reference/list-based stuff together at the very end. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

If that's the decision, I'd be happy to put in the effort to make sure the index covers everything useful out of the various lists. I'd need to know soon or in a couple of weeks though. Off on honeymoon next week and my new wife is understanding, but not *that* understanding... -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
