Thread: documentation navigation
There has been discussion about how hard it is to navigate our documentation, particularly the lack of an "Up" link at the top of the page, and uselessness of the "fast forward/backward" links. Who is going to correct this? Should I do it? Where should I look? -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

Should I do it? Where should I look? I'd find it more useful if the navigation were more like the French version of the docs. Instead of prev/next, it replaces them with the titles of the sections those links would navigate to, although I think it would be nicer to precede it with the section number too. I don't think "up" is particularly useful either, since it's not clear what page you'll land on, which again, the French docs have solved by having a breadcrumb-style nav at the top. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935

That would be even better. My point was just that we should do _something_. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +
