Re: [Jchat] Vocabulary
I looked at the current page implementation and then did a bit of searching based on what I saw. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Timeless suggests a possible improvement.

My main issue with NuVoc is that (I find) the primitives table hard to read, due in part to colouring (black on purple, red isn't very contrastive) and in part to padding (I can see approx 2/3 of the original dictionary page on my 13" laptop, vs. roughly 1/3 on the wiki).

Re: [Jchat] Vocabulary
We had not planned to keep the old HTML pages up to date, see https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Community_Wiki_vs_HTML_Publications . The daily HTTrack dump works pretty well offline, see https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Help/Offline . We might be able to do something better for just NuVoc, along the lines of the offline Jd docs. If anyone has ideas, let me know.

[Jchat] Vocabulary
Hi all, Is there an up to date version of the J vocabulary (https://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/vocabul.htm)? If not, are there any plans to update the original help system to cover v901 engine changes? I realise that NuVoc (https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc) exists but unfortunately find the presentation very noisy and difficult to scan through quickly. Having a local copy bundled with J would also be preferable. Thanks, Marc -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
