Initially I put the related functions menu on the right just to match for consistency. It felt a bit odd at first, I admit. Then I realized this fixes an issue where the functions are listed first instead of the content in browsers without media query support or in small browser windows. This is actually a pretty big deal so I committed the change. > Also I noticed some minor problem with formatting - the text in the > example section overflows, for example - > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.runkit-function-add.php > I have been aware of this for some time and my various attempts to fix it have been fruitles. Just now I realized a simple word-wrap property might fix the issue; sometimes we just don't see the easy solution for whatever reason. This should be fixed soon. > Sorry, I don't want to be a rude boy.
