Hi,

over the time our HTML report got so many features that it deserves its own documentation page. I started an outline here:

https://github.com/jacoco/jacoco/wiki/HtmlCoverageReport

Once the text is finished I'll move it to the source tree.

Cheers,
-marc

    Tooltips are not a bad idea.
    But I saw people, who are not able to find tooltips, in exactly
    the same way as you overlooked missing column separators :) and
    they anyway will ask question :)
    Addition of a help icon and link to help page? Also not sure,
    because believe that usually "Sessions" page (link is in right top
    corner) is overlooked.


Some people are just hopeless :) . Seriously, tooltips are something that many people think to check for, and many others who discover them accidentally. It's just a way to provide additional information that doesn't get in the way of experienced users.

Concerning the "Sessions" page, I would imagine it's mostly overlooked because most people don't have a clue what it's for. I don't know what it's for. Don't consider that a request to explain it here, I'm just pointing that out to give you some perspective. I would imagine the vast majority of people who deliberately navigate to this page will understand what "line coverage" is. Somewhat fewer will understand "branch coverage", hardly any will understand "complexity coverage" (I still don't), and most will never even notice the "Sessions" link or know what it's for. Look at this page from that perspective, and you'll see the value of providing informational tooltips on some of those headers and links. I think you already see it, just providing more emphasis. As developers of a framework or application, we often don't have the perspective of ordinary users.
