Adding subsections would exacerbate the problem. By "horizontal page" I mean taking advantage of the full screen width, for example, by using multi-columns or similar technique. That would get more info on each screen page. Compare the TOC with the x-config.html page ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html), which uses the full page width. -Tom _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
