I did not resist on tag cloud. That was just an idea about compact
layout for long list of Fossil documents.

How would it look. For example, surf to http://www.tagcrowd.com/, choose
'Web Page URL' tab. I entered the URL
http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/permutedindex.html and
got one nice example (auto-generated tag cloud can be downloaded as
embedded HTML, an image or PDF file). I saw two big (bold) words between
50 other, *fossil* and ...  *git* :-) I do not sure that  generated PDF
(http://www.tagcrowd.com/pdf/1440448147_cloud.pdf) will be exist a
while, but, you can create own version.
