My personal taste would go for a light page header (like a revamped current white/blue) rather than a dark one. I find the pike fish hardly recognizable light on dark. > Module refdoc: > http://poppa.github.io/pikedoc/ <http://poppa.github.io/pikedoc/> > > So feel free to comment and give feedback.

A good new feature would be to allow user contributed notes in the refdoc. That's double-edged sword, but that's the main drawback programmers i'd want to code in Pike opposed me. PHP user contributed notes for example could look sometimes lousy, but they give real-word examples to figure how to use modules. Sometimes, the refdoc look somewhat too much abstract to newcomers.
