Issue #7601 has been updated by Thomas Bellman.

The length is not a problem in itself, imo.  But the formatting is ... 
non-optimal.  It actually becomes easier to read when I select "No style" as 
the page style in Firefox.

Here are a couple of concrete suggestions:

- Don't f*ck with the left margin!  When using the page's style sheet, the text 
becomes flush to my browser window's left edge.  Sucks for readability.

- Don't f*ck with sizes and things for headings.  At least for me, the heading 
for each type is *smaller* than the subheadings within each type, and even than 
the sub-sub-headings (like the name of each parameter).

- Raise the "heading level" for most things; put the heading for each type 
inside h2 instead of h3, and the sections within each type should likewise be 
headed with h3, not h4.

- Use definition lists (dl, dd and dt elements) for parameters, instead of a h5 
heading with a paragraph after it.

Our very long docs pages are difficult to use.  E.g.,

*This ticket is a request for comment, coming out of a discussion at Puppet 
Camp EU, 2011.  No promises whatever about implementation, but there were 
enough people interested to open a public discussion.*
