(ioda or something) Great news ! Any chances to have better navigation in the online HTML docs ? I mean : a better presentation of what the units contain , without being forced to click N times until getting to the list of "Procedures" or "Classes" . As i was explaining : finding items is painful unless you already know the unit . It could help if it were possible to search for keywords only in the procedure/function/class descriptions ( mailing list results are usually overwhelming and make me prefer trying to google and ask on the mailing list ) . -- Adrian Maier _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
