Table of contents & HTML.

Table of contents & HTML.

[Kristaps Dzonsons]

Hi,

I've hacked up a demo of framed manual pages for mandoc-cgi.  You can 
see a demo of it here,

  http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/mandoc.cgi/frame/2086.html
  http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/mandoc.cgi/frame/19.html
  http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/mandoc.cgi/frame/2087.html

 From the regular search page, these are visible with the "framed" link 
type, alongside PDF, PS, and so on.  You'll note this is only really 
useful for longer manuals, but for such manuals, it's quite useful!

It's just a proof of concept with hard-coded HTML (in mandoc-cgi.c). 
Note that I don't see _parent targets for the "page" frame, as I'm just 
putting out some ideas.

Thoughts?

As mentioned earlier, using LINKs is the way to go, but to the best of 
my knowledge no browser really uses these.  Pity...

You can get a similar effect by using something like

<div id="toc">
  ...
</div>
<div id="outer-content">
  <div id="content">
  ...
  </div>
</div>

in combination with 

#toc {
	position: absolute;
	overflow: auto;
	width: 10%;
}

outer-content {
	position: absolute;
	overflow: auto;
	left: 10%;
	right: 0;
}

without frames.
