Hi everyone. I had some ideas for improving our web site, namely:
1. Stop using APT APT format is _really_ limiting. I finally gave up when I couldn't put a pipe character within a table (they say escaping it like "\|" works, but it doesn't). Dreadful stuff. After trying XDOC, it seems to be better. It also allows us to use syntax coloring (see next point). 2. Add syntax coloring for examples This is not available in Maven default skin, and I'm not a big fan of the Fluido skin [1] which has it. However, after a little hacking, I managed to get google-code-prettify [2] to work in the default skin when using XDOC. It's licenced under ASF v2, so no problem there. PHP and XML look nice. 3. Improve the looks I never liked the high constrast in maven templates very much (especially headings and table headers). I wanted to keep the overall feel of the site, but go for something a bit more relaxed. Not being a designer, decided to find some "inspiration" in the Bootstrap project [3]. Basically I took the whole bootstrap css. :-) It's also licensed under ASF v2 so no problem. This is what I came up with: http://i.imgur.com/7zAth.png Do not mind the contents too much, not finished yet. Focus on the design. Comments are appreciated.
