e) The example-boxes use <div class="example"><pre>...</pre></div> to define

wrap the text within the <pre>-tags, since it is pre-defined, ha. With
smaller window-sizes we therefore get lines which reach over the
background box.

To see this live, try
http://test.perlig.de/apdoc/manual/mod/mod_rewrite.html
with a window-size smaller than 800x600 (scroll down to find a problematic
place).

Yes, that is the danger of using <pre>. It is not created by this new style, just amplified by it (due to the restricted screen real-estate). The great thing about not using tables is that the huge <pre> doesn't cause the entire page to scroll right-left.

The problem will be lessened if we use a slightly smaller font.  Which
brings up the question of exactly which of the stylesheets we are going to
use.  I suggest that we NOT include ALL those alternate stylesheets.  In
fact I suggest we start with just a single stylesheet (or at most a few)
and we can add more later.

I'm +1 on using a smaller font for them. But you are right, we will have to discuss which stylesheets to use. see below...

Right now it seems the default is style/css/manual-sbar-right-fix15.css.
I suggest using instead manual-sbar-right-90pc.css (although I think we
may need to go even a little smaller).  I also think it would be best to
consolidate all those @imports so that, in the default case, only a single
stylesheet needs to be loaded.  The alternate stylesheets can still use
imports, but we want to minimize transactions for the default case.

And if you don't feel like doing that, I'm +1 on committing it as is and
we can fix it later.


I have committed all the stylesheets so that we can easily compare. Hmmm, perhaps I should read my mails when they're coming in :-) This was just a minute to late, sorry.
