hi
i don't have a proper solution for this. i see your point though i think the real issue for a user is basically: "where am i?".
Agreed
what i have done, is: - boldfaced the h1, h2, h3, h4 (which i think we should have done anyway).
+1
- included the path/breadcrumb for (_only_) this particular item : APACHE_SRC (the styles for this local path/breadcrumb is of course the same as the one at the top of the page)
so what you get is first of all more visible section headers (because they are bold) and secondly a complete path for the current chosen item. with that path (and its links) close to you, it's easier to see where you actually are and therefore easier to navigate the content _and_ therefore easier to understand the context.
well, click on APACHE_SRC in the table of contents and you see what i mean.
this solution is not so visibly seperated as you requested, but on the other hand it is user-friendly IMO. in fact, having just taken a look at it again i think it looks rather cool, also because it will (should) scale well if there's a long path.
It's a good idea. You're right, it makes navigation pretty good. The only thing that worries me is that it might take up too much space when applied to *all* the headers.
Suggestion:
- we only use that breadcrumb for some headers: we probably don't need them for Level 1 headers, but we could have them for atleast level 2, and maybe level 3 headers.
- we add a horizontal rule before the level 1 header, as to separate sections visually.
