Along the lines of your comments, I would guess the
problem would be "someone has to read it." Now, before
you dismiss this as a pointless joke, I would just
consider it as "Stating the obvious" as this
often is a route to great discovery ( you needn't pat
me on the back at this point, I am doing so now).
Stating another obvious, we have computers.
With appropriately formetted electronic publications,
we have tools like grep to help us find what we need
with efficient use of resources. However, often
there is a problem with vocabulary and document
structure for the beginner wishing to become
familiar with a topic. Keywords don't help
if you don't know what they are, if there is
not document structure common word context
is hard to find. So, you can create neologisms
to make searching easier or in the electronic
docs create structure. fwiw.
While Leonard and others keep pointing out
that PDF has structural capabilities, everytime
someone asks here a question that
lends itself to use of these facilities, almost
unanimuous opinion is, "sure its
possible but it is too complicated or
hard and no one would use it,"
I can grep javadocs and have some idea
of context since the rendered html is
fairly uniform if not intended to be structured.
I can build my own indexes and remove common
words, reducing the time to learn
jargon etc.
