Hello Adam and all
I regenerated the page with a new code. I also changed the URL in an
attempt to make it closer to "OperationMethod", which is the ISO 19111
objects that we are actually listing:
http://sis.staging.apache.org/content/CoordinateOperationMethods.html
In this new page, I use the new HTML5 <details> tag for hiding the
aliases. Depending on your browser, you may see a symbol on the left
side of the parameter name. Clicking on this symbol expand the aliases.
Unfortunately <details> is not yet supported by Firefox (which is my
usual browser): Firefox show everything, which make the page very
verbose. But <details> works with Safari and Opera (I'm not sure about
Internet Explorer).
If this new layout is considered better and worth to keep, then I don't
know what we should do about Firefox. Alternatives are:
1. Do nothing and hope that Firefox will not take too long before to
support the <details> HTML5 tag (the page is not broken in current
Firefox - it is just much more verbose than expected).
2. Do not use <details> at all by not providing any alias information.
3. Create two separated pages, with and without aliases.
What do you think?
