Enhancement request for web page http://lilypond.org/manuals.html


From: Jim Long
Subject: Enhancement request for web page http://lilypond.org/manuals.html
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2012 18:15:23 +0000 (UTC)
User-agent: Loom/3.14 (http://gmane.org/)

Recently and historically, several users have commented that the web page at
reference could be enhanced by having conspicuous links to downloadable PDF
versions of the lilypond documentation.

The following patches to http://lilypond.org/manuals.html illustrate a design
mock-up of how the manuals.html page might look after 

For convenience, one may wish to apply the second patch also, which specifies a
base URL so that a local mock-up copy of manuals.html can correctly link to the
rest of the http://lilypond.org/ web site.

I realize that this HTML is not the source document from which manuals.html is
created, but the intent here is only to illustrate a design suggestion.

Respectfully submitted,

Jim
