New submission from Forest Wilkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I was just browsing the development docs, and noticed that the new left-side navigation bar wastes a lot of horizontal space on the web page. It fills nearly a third of my browser window (at its usual size) with useless blank space, at the expense of the pertinent information. This makes it harder to get much use out of a docs window placed next to my editor window, since I am now forced to switch active windows and/or scroll around the docs window in order to read the section I'm working with. In a few cases, it leaves space for so few words per line that even the visible part of the docs actually become harder to read (especially with text justification).
For comparison, here are screen shots from the old and new documentation: http://hestiafire.org/forest/img/doc25.png http://hestiafire.org/forest/img/doc26.png Is this side bar going to be present in the final release of the python 2.6 docs? I hope not. It's a significant loss in readability, IMHO. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 68412 nosy: forest, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: development docs waste a lot of horizontal space on left nav bar versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3143> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
