yikes yes re columns.

[my fill-column is 60.  on a 32 inch.  and i cannot even do ediff side
by side with that, to my displeasure.]

[i hope to find a low-[preferably-1-nit]-minimum-brightness

partly satisfy that, can come standardly in 42 inches, which /might/
allow side by side ediff at 60 finally.]

Notice that Org manual is exported through ox-texinfo, not by ox-html 
directly. So somebody should confirm that default ox-html table of 
contents is suitable for various worg pages: short and long ones.


Personally I do not like CSS of the manuals (Org and Emacs) because it 
allows ~190 characters per line. For regular paragraphs it is 
recommended to have lines 60-70 characters long. Code blocks may be wider.

Re: [accessibility] worg obscures text

2022-06-16 Thread Samuel Wales
thank you.  classic works best for me.  a tiny bit made for smaller
fonts [perhaps ragged right or 1 column would work better] but it is
completely usable and i would not mention such a nit except for your
interest.

[as an indicator of right column column width in classic page style,
with smallest legible font size during daylight, worg toc currently
takes 26 mouse pagescroll clicks to get to end from top.  toc at top
taking whole page [a 1 column design] and the items flowed but with
decent margins would take fewer clicks as that would be a bit more
width.  larger fonts would make the number of clicks more.  just fyi.]

[of the other styles, one is white bg so cannot use at night [because
i have not found a good
darkerner extension that does not require running a binary blob to
install it which i stubbornly refuse to do.  the one i use, dark
reader, does not work on some pages for some reason, and it
has other issues re blue on black and too much blue or so]; zenburn is
too bright and uncontrasty for me; and one or
two are obscuring as mentioned.  for my personal use, with my current
settings, classic is definitely good enough.  also, for some reason i
rarely go to worg.]

Something worth pointing out in case you were not aware of it is that
the worg pages are defined with alternative stylesheets. Unfortunately,
alternative stylesheet support is not well supported by browsers.
However, firefox is one that does support them and as you are a firefox
users, you may be in luck. 

>From the 'view' menu, you can select the "Page style" option, which will

classic. 

In your case, you will likely find the classic style easier to work with
as the fonts can be scaled without some content obscuring other (it
doens't use the Z index to keep things 'on top'). 

Note that I am working on improving the look of worg and all of this
will likely change. However, it turns out it isn't as simple as a few
patches. There is quite a bit of work required to get things 'up to
spec', especially with respect to accessibility and responsiveness for
multiple screen sizes.

Org web pages are currently generated by SourceHut CI, have a look at 
.build.yml and publish.sh (the latter is actually elisp).


Browser developer tools show the name of CSS file where some rule is 
defined.


I had an idea with "X" labeled button (hidden checkbox for no-JS 
implementation) that collapses toolbar into hamburger. However I have 
enough items in my org-related backlog.

Sadly, it isn't that simple. You also have to understand how worg does
the publishing and that isn't easy. I just looked at the repository 

- The .emacs.el file referenced in the worg-setup.org is not available (404 
error)
- The styles directory consists of a number of css files - not clear
  which one is used. (I'm guessing the .emacs.el file might tell me such
  details). 
- You also need to know about org publish and how it works, not just be
  familiar wiht html and css. 
  
As it stands now, without the .emacs.el file (which I'm assuming
contains the org-publish-project-alist variable), you cannot do much or
work out how the styles are generated/applied, so you cannot fix this. 

If the .emacs.el was either in the repo or the url referenced in the
worg-setup.org file worked, that would help.

Patches are welcome! We just need someone with knowledge of html/css to
jump in and create a patch for https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg (BTW, also
see shiny new https://sr.ht/~bzg/org/).

I agree, that is pretty poor formatting and does not work well and will
never work well from an accessibility perspective.

A big +1 from me.  I struggle with this problem too.  The website
obscures its main content with the floating side-buttons, namely

- "Support via Liberapay",
- "UP",
- "HOME", and
- "Table of Contents".

I think, no chrome should ever cover the main text, no matter what font
size or screen size the user has to use.  The Emacs manual does the
right thing, for example.
