I still think that to better communicate with the user the content should be truncated. Perhaps then followed with an ellipse (...) to show continuation and the perhaps a "more" or "read more" link place at the end. This would better communicate to the user that the continent continues and how to get the rest of it. Also, should the objective of the documentation site be to communicate various topics to the user. To educate them. I'll agree that style and eye appeal are a big part of that communication. After all if it doesn't look appealing the user wont bother to read it. How much difficult do you find read those plain text site than a well laid out site with graphics and styled text? However, if you come to a site that has a great look but is difficult to navigate the user can become frustrated and leave the site. So the whole package becomes important. As my grand father used to tell me "The most important part of anything is the one not working".

The answer is YES, it can always be done. The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will it take? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
