I have not done any work on the ASDocs section. We would be glad of any help we can get to make it more useful. Does it need a color guide at the top to indicate what blue, red, green mean...and then I guess we would have to check that that is implemented consistently.
I cannot see the two images you attached, as the email system is for plain-text messages only. If you can find those issues again and drop them into paste.apache.org, I believe you could share the links in a message. @Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> do you have any thoughts about why the ASDocs might not display on occasion? I have run into that too, and have had to basically refresh the browser window and try mys search again. a On Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 2:59 PM GAbe Barbosa <gbarbosa...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm specifically talking about the https://royale.apache.org/asdoc and > I'm using mostly emulation components.
