Minor Change to Help File (idh_scripting_comref)

[GreetingsFromPoland]

hi! would it be possible to change the layout of the Scripting Commands Reference slightly ?
for example, if you replace this :

Code: Select all

<span class="f_Text"> &nbsp; </span>

with this :

Code: Select all

<span class="f_Text"> &nbsp; </span><br>

you can see the before and after here :

before

idh_scripting_comref_after.png

after

i understand it is larger top-to-bottom; however, at least for me, i find it faster to scan down for the letter and then across for the command.

i also added a single line to the top for A B C D... that hyperlinked to the first command for that letter (not shown in screenshot).

I thought about it and decided that a no-scroll version would be better.

Any way to set a preferred view, like hitting a view button. I think the list may be a better option even if the user has to scroll. It's easier than trying to pinpoint the SC you're looking for in a huge paragraph.

To make it easier: viewtopic.php?p=82518#p82518

Hey highend. Actually, I do already use your ShowHelpTopics script but not necessarily every time. For the average user who may not, I think the list layout is better for more quickly finding the desired scripting command.

Take a look at this one instead *g*: viewtopic.php?t=27046

Seems like changing host made pictures here lost. Though if i understand description correctly= +1 for this improvement.
And actually i'd wish get() page to have same thing, ca'use it has lots of parameters.

[admin]

Indeed. I don't think I can restore these pictures. Support from HostEurope (the previous host) is almost non-existing and they probably have technical issues as well. Maybe the OP can re-add his pictures.

Don, what about initial idea of restructuring Help file scripting commands page = from a pile into left-alphabet orientation?
Adding first letter limiters was already quite handy, and making them letter based line separated would push comfort further.

Yet, would be cool to have same jump markers added for get(), since it has separate page with quite a lot of arguments. Alphabet separation is not so needed there, but jump links - must have.!
