Thank you Frank, Ian, Barry. I am re-opening to have the conversation in
life ticket and not a closed one so that it shows up as a changed ticket.
Using the auto-generated one seems like a good idea. Comments on the
current list of thorn guides (http://einsteintoolkit.org/documentation/ThornGuide.php yes its a php link):
- the are errors in the HTML: the closing </li> tag is missing
- the layout looks quite strange to me with lots of empty space, see eg
the attached screenshot. I don't know if his is "new" or was already the case for the old website (cannot check since I don't have a php enable web-server at hand).
Yes, I am aware of the 'uneven' lists. The only way I could imagine breaking this up it by breaking the lists of individual arrangements - but I don't think this would be better, because then you can easily end up with the arrangement name out-of-screen and to the bottom of a corresponding thorn name. The reason why you didn't see this in the old list was that the old list was just that: one long list. I could easily do that, and in fact had it like that first, but I personally found it better to get more 'value for screen space', and broke the list into arrangements, which then are placed next to each other. This is done sorted alphabetically, but the number of columns dynamically, which is why you might end up with a setup that looks a bit odd depending on the current list of thorns and your browser width. Improvements are welcome, the script is in git.
