The font size is much smaller than the font size of other webpages. So if I would change the default font size to give good results with the Haskell website, all other websites would have their text in very large letters.
Well, haskell.org has smaller font size for the links, but the my preferred portal site (www.iskon.hr) has even smaller. However, pressing 'Ctrl +' to increase font size is, imoho, not such a big task :-)
The question is if HTML is sufficient. In addition, HTML is at some points not well thought-out.
True, but considering the present situation, it is all what is required. Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD

Well, that's a wrong assumption: People on Windows will expect HTML Help, and the current build system can easily generate this from DocBook XML. I think the current installers/ZIP files for GHC and the other tools don't include HTML Help, but I consider this a packaging bug. Cheers, S.

I doubt this. How, for example, do you implement code snippets which should be rendered in a paragraph of their own in HTML?

I wrote a program (based on HsColour by Malcolm Wallace) which processes xhtml and modifies <code>...</code> blocks to do simple Haskell syntax highlighting and link function names to corresponding haddock documentation (by reading .hi file to get the fully qualified names). http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/darcs/gtk2hs/docs/tools/AddLinks.hs http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/darcs/gtk2hs/docs/tutorial/Makefile I'm planning to use it for writing Gtk2Hs tutorials. http://haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/HelloWorld.xhtml Duncan
