Even though I like the new function descriptions you have I might
lean towards having this kind of layout:

Parameters:     

   begin        The beginning of the sequence.

   end          The end of the sequence.

   flags        Optional match flags, used to control how the expression
                is matched against the sequence. (See match_flag_type.)

   re           The regular expression object to use

   what The match_results struct into which the sub_matches
                will be written

Requires:       

   Types BidiIter and OtherBidiIter meet the requirements of a
   Bidirectional Iterator (24.1.4).

   OtherBidiIter is convertible to BidiIter.

   [begin,end) denotes a valid iterator range.

Returns:        

   true if a match is found, false otherwise

Throws:

   regex_error on stack exhaustion
        

I like this.



But why? Given the aspect ratio of most monitors, vertical space is at a higher premium than horizontal. This will just cause more useful information to scroll off the bottom of the screen.

You can't really use the width of most monitors effectively anyway
unless you display multiple columns on a page.  Long lines are hard to
read.


This is only proving my point. With Rene's layout, lines of text get even longer. The table-like layout is a more effective use of horizontal *and* vertical space.

Unless there there is a general consensus, I don't intend to spend any more time hacking the XSLT for this.
