Wow, nice work! I really like the formatting of the Exec function, but looking at the site itself I find it hard to find the interrupt I'm looking for. Can you make the function number maybe a bit more prominent? I'm mostly looking up interrupts by number and if I'm looking for a function by name I search anyway, since entries aren't alphabetized.
For me at least this is what I'm used to: https://www.ctyme.com/intr/int-21.htm and find it easy to scroll down to the function I'm looking for (by number). It seems more complete, but I really like your pages more, they are easier to read, and the time one also has problems with some of the tables. Oh and one more thing it also has a nice interrupt jump table which I find very handy: https://www.ctyme.com/intr/int.htm --Wolf -- |\_ | .\---. / ,__/ / /Wolf <wolf+...@bergenheim.net>_ On Sat, Jul 27, 2024 at 10:12 PM Jerome Shidel via Freedos-devel < freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hi all, > > The other day someone asked me to make a “general” improvement the the > RBIL HTML edition created by my rbil2html utility.
