the 'even' class is never used. I'd suggest to remove it. (the not 'odd'
rows may be catched by '.qref tr' selector)

hmmm. I think there should be set something like 'class="descr"' width a
'padding-left: 2em;' or so. Otherwise descriptions that are longer than
one line don't look very good (and we get better semantics, of course). 

Additionally we should be consistent and remove the
style="text-decoration: none" for the links. 

If desired, I will do the work, of course ;-)

+1

The broken vertical lines look a little wierd to me, but I certainly 
don't trust my own web-design judgement, so go for it.

hmm, I don't find it ugly, really ;-)

I tried several combinations, and I'm actually missing the underlines,
when they aren't there (but that's just my feeling, of course). 

Because it's so huge, I've uploaded my current favourite version:

<http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/manual/mod/quickreference.html>

What do you think about?

tried this, too -- it looks really ugly ;-)

er, the tricky XSLT took me some time, because of the
two-step-processing (letter bar & zebra crossing) - but who cares? ;-)

Alternatively we may put an image before the description and link it,
e.g. 

<a href="todirective"><img src="{$path}/images/right.gif" alt="-&gt;"
/></a> directive syntax...

It seems better to have the variable set in either case, but it's not a 
big deal to me.

Good idea.

It's just *SO UGLY* with all the unlines.  There are occasions when I'll 
sacrifice a little consistentcy to get something that looks decent.

But I won't impose my opinion if others disagree.

Go to it!

Thanks.
