Re: quick question: web manuals presentation

[Ian Hulin]

I vote for the Essay page.  The Glossary page format wastes space at the 
bottom left of the screen unless the description and notes are very 
wordy (and we don't want them to be).  The single column of the Essay 
Page allows longer individual text lines which are more comfortable to 
read.  The Glossary page style feels more like reading short newspaper 
columns.  It also looks like you've got rid of a superfluous heading 
(*Read it Now*) on the Essay style page.

One question regarding all three styles.  What is the difference between 
following the hyperlink marked _Essay_ on the page and the two HTML 
hyperlinks under the heading *Other Formats*?  The same question applies 
to the Glossary and Notations Style pages.

Cheers,
Ian
