Yes, although the offline use is more likely to also get printed out.
You can cater for both on-screen and printed versions by putting the screen
specific code into a @media screen section and the printed specific logic in
@media print, e.g.:
@media screen
{
body { font-family: sans-serif; }
a:link { color: blue; }
}
@media print
{
body { font-family: Times New Roman, serif; }
a:link { text-decoration: normal; color: black; }
}
so you get a good L&F for both versions.
They are likely to get used differently. There's been mention from some
that they mostly use the docs in a scanning mode, while others tend to sit
and read carefully. I think that the former is more likely a use of the
online docs, and the latter of the offline docs. But more explicitly the
offline docs won't have all the navigation and interactive (i.e. the
webnotes) hence they can be tailored without the worry that they will clash
with those elements to make for the easiest to read.
@media print
{
.webnotes { display: none; }
}
:)
While the online docs might be tailored for scanning and searching.
Sure.
I think that exactly Joel's point :-) You'll be happy, but someone else
will be angry. And unlike libraries where the friction is minimized most of
the time because it's something that library author will deal with
individually. The design is something that affects everyone.
I personally really like what you have done with the redesing. Adding the
blue on the headings makes a real difference!
As with Dave and Joel, I'm not keen on the link style (especially as there
appears to be different, inconsistent styling across them). Having said
that, I like the links in the table of contents.
How about following the W3C?:
@media screen
{
a:link { text-decoration: underline; color: blue; }
a:hover { cursor: pointer; }
}
@media print
{
a:link { text-decoration: none; color: black; }
}
