ID: 33205 User updated by: phpnet535 at eddeye dot net Reported By: phpnet535 at eddeye dot net Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: n/a PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Sniper: 1) Just because you don't have a problem with it doesn't mean it's not a problem. It makes the index harder to use. 2) Say it's a minor problem on an individual level. Suppose it means that people take an extra 2 seconds to find the entry they want. With thousands of page views a day, this becomes a large problem in the aggregate. 3) The current system is poorly coded. You don't hard-code ordinals in your PHP scripts, you shouldn't do it in html list markup. It flies in the face of good web design. It's not just a readability problem, but an accessibility issue. PHP of all projects should respect proper HTML coding practices. Unfortunately, I no longer have time to fix it. Which probably means it will lay around broken forever because people like sniper think if it works for him, it works for everyone. While we're at it, let's just remove all the img alt tags from php.net; most people don't need em.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with the index. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-01 10:16:47] goba@php.net Finding the right place in the DSSSL sheets is already solving half of the problem, then doing some overrides will probably be simple :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-01 09:24:00] derick@php.net Sorry, but I would have to look for it too - i've generally no idea, but I *think* it might in the standard docbook dsssl sheets, which you'll have to override. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-31 23:12:30] phpnet535 at eddeye dot net Can you narrow it down a bit? I looked in there before and couldn't find the source to that page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-31 22:34:31] derick@php.net All the source is in the phpdoc module, good luck fixing DSSSL stylesheets - it's not going to be trivial .... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
