[PATCH v3] docs: improve the HTML sidebar/TOC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a new sidebar template that creates a more RTD-like "fisheye" view of
the current place in the document hierarchy.  It is far from ideal, but
some readers may find it better for navigating through the documentation as
a whole.

Add some CSS trickery as well to make the table of contents less intrusive
when viewing the pages on a small screen.

Changes this time are almost entirely in the small-screen view; I've
added some CSS trickery to hide the TOC by default so it doesn't get
between readers and what they actually want to see.  I'm sure it could
be done more elegantly, but my fluency with CSS ... does not afford much
elegance ...

Once again, the results are at:

  https://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/

This is as far as this work is likely to get before the merge window; in
the absence of screams, I'll drop it into linux-next in the near future.
