I do think throwing it through B2H could be handy - if the DCF macros aren't too exotic. The resulting HTML might be loadable via some javascript to add some value.

I wouldn't like either of these changes. My opinion is that they would add significant white space to the manual that would not add to the readability. The instruction format diagrams for each instruction fit nicely into one column and there would be no benefit in stretching it to be wider. Likewise, there are many other figures and illustrations that are only one column wide. Yes, I agree that scrolling up to the top of the second column is a bit of a nuisance. Not enough that I'd want to change it though. -- Tom Marchant Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
