I restored a method index from the main page in RDoc 2.4.
Diagram generation is currently disabled because it needs vast
improvements and was pretty but otherwise mostly useless (I really
like it but have never actually used it).
I'll probably give the latest RDoc a try soon, and post here if I do.

Will sift rubyforge for candidates. Prawn looks pretty good in terms
of coverage, though perhaps something smaller would be better.

The are many linked files that ends up with 404, for example:

section FILES: bullet_toggle_minus.png (I think that all .png files

I'll fix this, either these files shouldn't show up (RDoc bug) or a .document file is missing that should exclude these files (my oversight). I made RDoc attempt to pull in more files, but I think it is overzealous now.
There should only be three files in that list, all .txt files.

Navigating via a web browser across various files quickly gets tedious. It's a breeze with a decent editor (one that has tags support).

Right. I see. It's on the class pages, but not on the main page.
I can understand that for people who don't bother to make their own
custom webpage for a project, but I almost always do. So for me the
normal rendering of README.txt makes more sense
(http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/README.txt.html\). Not sure what the answer
is, maybe a new command line flag.

Oh, you can rebuild all your rdoc on your machine with:
sudo gem rdoc --all --no-ri

Oh, that's a very interesting thought. +1
+1 for me.
Also a nice thought would be to be able to "open the full file" from the
code snippet pop-downs--like a link back to see that method within
context.

Actually, it's a Hoe issue. I'll have fixed documentation up when I'm next at a shell

You didn't read what he said. He said that on that page are links to
README.txt and other files, and those links are duds. m.

I restored a method index from the main page in RDoc 2.4.
Diagram generation is currently disabled because it needs vast
improvements and was pretty but otherwise mostly useless (I really
like it but have never actually used it).
I've been meaning to make this suggestion for a while now: Would it not
be more useful if the file page showed the entire file's contents
verbatim? This is one thing that in my mind is missing from RDoc --a way
to look at the source in full.

Now that I think about it, including the source of C methods which have
no documentation would also be quite helpful--in that case it basically
is the only documentation you get [ex: shoes].
Thanks!
