[Dspace-devel] Tables in configuration doco. are hard to read

2012-10-11 Thread Mark H. Wood
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Configuration

These are a kind of multilevel table:  three rows make up one complete
entry.  There's no distinction among the rows so it's hard to scan
down the entries.

Elsewhere in the documentation I've seen such tables formatted with a
highlight on the first line of each entry.  I'd like to suggest doing
that on the Configuration page.

Hi Mark,

I've updated the statistics configuration docs the other day, and I noticed
the same issue, that the configurations all get lost in a big mess of
repeated content.

To the statistics page, I inserted a blank row in the table between
entries. If bold/highlighting is clearer, then we can go that direction.

Hi Mark  Peter,

The Wiki editor has an option to highlight specific rows (or columns) in 
tables.  I'd agree it might be good to use this to make the Config docs 
easier to read.

Just do the following:
* Edit the page
* Select the Row you wish to highlight
* A table menu appears...one of the options allows you to highlight that 
row in a variety of colors. Likely we just want to highlight things in 
grey.

Here's the various table options from the Confluence docs:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Working+with+Tables

As an example, I just did that on the first few sections of the Config 
docs: 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Configuration#Configuration-Thedspace.cfgConfigurationPropertiesFile

If someone has the time in the next few days to take this over, I'd 
appreciate it!

- Tim
