Ben, Austin, Could we see the sub-sub-sections of the user manual in the table of contents http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-guide/ The section titles are often very helpful. C.f. the old version https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/index.html Simon

Sure. I've pushed e7927110bd1c1336bb4cb17eb52cf5b6adae3902 to make this so. Cheers, - Ben

If you look at http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-guide// you'll find that sub-sub-sections are now shown. Unfortunately it looks quite cluttered now. I feel like it is now quite easy to get lost in the forest while scanning for your desired section. Perhaps it would make sense to make the sub-sections expandable but collapsed by default? Opinions? Cheers, - Ben
I like it better. Better still to be able to collapse/expand. But it should be possible to collapse-all and expand-all, so you can then search in the web page.

It is long, but count me as a +1 vote for the fully expanded contents - these always help me find things. Perhaps add a short listing (just the chapters) above it ?
