There is another piece of documentation that you may find useful:
http://web2py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ... this is the API
documentation. It hasn't been updated in a while, but holds good for
most of the APIs.
You could also open up a ipython console, and use the python `dir`
function, or the `?` at the end of the method to get details of the API.
You can use the TAB to help with type-ahead, or code lookup.
For example, try this on the ipython console:
`from gluon import html`
`dir html`
` html.xmlescape?`
I guess you have also tried the search capability in the web2py
documentation?

I'm also new to web2py and I have trouble with the documentation. I'm
fairly green with python itself so maybe there are better ways to use
the documentation or look for things. Sometimes I don't know what
things are called or how to search for them. One thing I liked about
developing in C++ with Qt is that I could always find a reference page
for whatever class I was using that would give very concrete
information about it. Sometimes I'm confused about what type a
variable is and I often don't know how to even find out what type it
is, let alone look up that type in documentation. I've been at it now
for about 20 hours so I don't have too much time under my belt.
I'm still able to build my web application as fast or faster than
using no framework with PHP. If I find an improvement to make the
documentation I will try to contribute.
Cheers,
Matt

Hi,
I'm starting with web2py, it seems a very powerfull tool.
But concerning the documentation, it's difficult to read : in this
document (see link above) it's OK from the beginning up to 75%.
After the 75% the explainations and the code (in 'code' box) are
inverted.
Who is in charge of this, in order to make it readable ?
Thanks.
