Maybe lilypond could be > also told a "page"width number (if it doesn't yet) By `text div', you mean the div with the main docs, right? If you would like the maximum line width to be 80em, what sort of page layout would you propose? I am having trouble visualizing how this would work. I'll consider your suggestion for the blockquoted sections. I don't think it's possible to have the musical examples adjust to the page width, since the maximum widths are hardcoded when the docs are compiled. > The scrollbars: I think the scrollbar for the contents div should always be > on, don't remember how to achive this, something like setting height to > 101%? So there won't be the switch when some subsections get opened. This is a very interesting suggestion! I'll think about it. > On my 1024x768 there is also a scrollbar on the bottom but it is useless > because it is always 100% long. Does this have to be there?
