[jira] [Created] (LOG4J2-199) Site navigation

["Remko Popma (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Remko Popma created LOG4J2-199:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Site navigation
                 Key: LOG4J2-199
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-199
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5
            Reporter: Remko Popma


Does anyone else find the site navigation for the Components confusing?

In the left-hand side navigation panel, if you click on one of the Component links (like API, Implementation, ... Log4J Web) it takes you to a page where that component is not highlighted. Instead, Project Information > About (under Project Documentation) is highlighted. It took me a while to figure out that this is like a nested "project" site.

I think it would be helpful if for all "nested project" pages, the selected Component would be highlighted _as well as_ the selected Project Documentation link.

So if you click on API, in the resulting page both the API link and the Project Information > About link would be highlighted in the left-hand navigation panel. Then if you choose for example Project Information > Dependencies, the API link would still be highlighted together with the Dependencies link. 

I think this would help users understand where they are in the site.

Patch to follow soon.
