Interesting idea. They still flow onto a second layer, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. (yes, I still claim that 800 pixels wide should be big enough for everybody. :) > I made a patch for texi2html (attached) so that it > alternatively can use the (shorter) optional text part of a menu Why not make it a patch for web-texi2html.init ? That's how we do all the other overriding stuff for texi2html. Technical issues aside, I like the shorter names -- so why don't we use them as the node names? Everything other than "Old manuals" can be condensed down to one word (although I'd use "Notation" instead of "Reference"). It would also match the pdf filenames that John is creating. This could also simpify things on the mailists. I'm not going to bother writing Notation Reference, but I'm willing to go as far as typing Notation x.y.z. This way, newbies wouldn't need to ask what the NR was, since they see "Notation" on the main doc page (Manuals), and we'd type "Notation x.y.z". (my only remaining concern is "application", which is even worse as a single-word name than "application usage" is. Fortunately, I'm almost finished hacking the beginning of the LM... excuse me, Learning... so I'll start coming up with a draft for that book now. This might suggest a better name) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
