But what is the rationale for what goes in those two header lines, and what goes in the grey box lists? Why would "idioms" be in the first place but not the second, and FAQ in the second but not the first? Perhaps we could have just the grey boxes? (Incidentally "idioms" is too short to tell me "follow me". Something like "Programming techniques" would be more suggestive.) Simon

The second header line shows categories, whereas the links in the grey boxes are to articles. The "idioms" category collects together articles that are about idioms. We could have an "idioms" or "programming techniques" article as well, of course. It only needs to be written. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA WWED? http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/
