One thing I haven't seen anyone else comment on is the width of the new docs. I have a large (26") monitor and use the browser full-screen (with xmonad, so even more screen space). When I load these pages, particularly the non-frame one, something like 50% of my screen real-estate is empty whitespace on either side of the doc content. There is also wasted space in the frames version, just a little less of it. I wish the docs were using that space like the current Haddock does. Is the plan to use a fixed width like this?
Yes. There's research suggesting that the line length should be between 65 and 75 characters per line. http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/42/text_length.htm
Perhaps on large monitors the Synopsis could auto-open to use the available space? My 2 cents, ;) -- Felipe.
