If this is done, it should also be applied to many other sections in the PHP manual as that behavior is used all throughout the manual. In just the installation docs alone, it's like this for every chapter (Unix, Windows, and OS X) so if done all of them should be edited too. And, eventually applied to other parts of the manual. A big decision. It would have to be case-by-case otherwise a lot of introductions would need written. For example the control structures section has if() docs in the intro, is this good? Bad? I don't know. That said, I like the idea as it's often bugged me too. For example the Windows installation docs should not include the "installer" section within the Introduction. That's just plain wrong! Regarding the patch itself, how about making the title read Introduction instead of Intro. Regards, Philip
