- Subject: Documentation Style Inconsistency
I wanted to add a CSS to glibc's auto-generated HTML documentation. However, I've noticed an ambiguity that would lead to a style inconsistency.
Prototypes (i.e. function prototypes, variable prototypes, macro prototypes, etc.) are not surrounded by the <code> and </code> labels. CSS has no way of distinguishing them from the rest of the text inside of tables. Hence, when writing a CSS, I must decide between having all the text inside a table following mono-spaced fonts or all the text inside a table following regular text fonts -- two poor choices.
Could you change, or at least tell me how to change, the way the glibc HTML documentation is auto-generated so that this inconsistency can be resolved? (Basically, I'm asking for the prototypes to be surrounded by the <code> and </code> HTML marker flags.)
Thanks in advance.
