Done. I wasn't familiar enough with RDoc to be sure it was a bug,
hence my posting here. Thanks!

Clifford Heath.

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).

Thanks for doing that.
As a note the links to the files, i.e. "README.txt"
on
http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/RDoc/RDoc.html#M000417
result in 404's currently.
Thanks!

Now that prawn has been split out into various extensions, prawn-core
isn't too bad.

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.

section FILES: bullet_toggle_minus.png (I think that all .png files
does not work)

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.

And when you click on those files, it shows the requires and last
modified file dates--it would be way nice to display the file itself, as
well [or is it supposed to?]

more -t and vim -t work very well for me...

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

I assume that's referring to the leftmost side bars on pages like
http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/RDoc.html
?

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.

If you think it could possibly be a bug, best to file it!

That's my rule.

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].
