Comparing the page to my https://fd.lod.bz/rbil/zint/index_21.html 
<https://fd.lod.bz/rbil/zint/index_21.html> 

My page includes all of the information presented there. However, I put the 
function information after the text and include when it is an undocumented 
call, protected mode, etc. But, both pages are in the same order (by function 
number not alphabetical). 

Personally when I’m looking up a function by number on that page, I usually 
just search in the browser. The page is huge. 

But, I understand what your saying. Having all the function information lined 
up in the same column can make it easier to scroll down to a specific value. 

Since all such lists in my version that include that information is located 
after the title, doing it different on some pages could be confusing. 

I’ll need to consider it.

It is more or less complete. I do filter out some things like embedded list 
administration information. Plus, I exclude the programs he includes and their 
documentation. 

Otherwise all the text is there. Some, like the “Interrupt Primer” document 
aren’t really converted much and look very different having green text on a 
black background. Those types of pages get very little processing, formatting 
and linking. They mostly are just included as-is.

You can however browse all interrupts and such in alphabetical order through 
the “Browse by Title” link on the main page. 

Also, the “Browse by Index” is like an index from the back of a book. For 
example, “Absolute Disk Read” is mentioned 6 times and you can view a list of 
the pages it is mentioned on at 
https://fd.lod.bz/rbil/zindex/idx-absolute_disk_read.html 
<https://fd.lod.bz/rbil/zindex/idx-absolute_disk_read.html>

It already has that. On the main page, there is a link for “Browse by 
interrupt” which takes you to this page:
