Actually I was referring to the page content on eg the 'basic concepts' page,
where the writing and the pictures are closer together in my version than in the
existing version - allows you to see more on one screen

It would be, although even with 2 levels it would still miss basic concepts,
layers, selections. But that would be a vast improvement in my view :). And if
people could not find what they wanted from that, we'd know the structure was
wrong...
