you mean
src/web/index.html
What would you propose? The page has to render in all size browsers
which means no fixed width layouts, no fixed size fonts, no fixed
size widgets, flowing text. The cat picture is fixed size, but it isn't
essential (and the page as it is does render well on a phone).
[A smaller pic could be used in a different way]
It has to be scalable and work on all size browser windows.
So I'm not sure what you can do. It's basic HTML deliberately
to meet these requirements.
I'm actually more concerned with fdoc layout, but that's a bit harder
to work with because the HTML is generated. The buttons use SVG
so the whole thing is scalable. Code is of course going to
run off the right edge of small windows, this can't be helped.
The hierarchical document format is a bit lame. A better way
of providing a contents like a drop down widget or left
margin would be great. All that stuff is run by plugins
src/lib/plugins/*
The system is designed to require the absolute minimum
of preprocessing: even the navigation links are generated
by the webserver. The contents pages are generated
offline though (by a program called mktutindex in tools
directory)
