[Lazarus] new definition list formatting for HTML docs
Hi, Currently dl tags or definition lists are not formatted at all in the default fpdoc.css file (used for FPC and Lazarus documentation). http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html Above is the original unformatted definition lists. As you can see, it doesn't look very nice. It's cluttered and hard to read. The attached images shows the new formatting output. Is this acceptable? If so, I'll submit patches to FPC and Lazarus projects. Is there a fpdoc source files that generates the default fpdoc.css as well that I might have to patch?
