Hello,
Some formatting for @subentry, @seenentry and @seealso in HTML more in
line with TeX output has been implemented in the developpement source:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/?id=76485d9ea1f8e411b6b4e4196babe1089d286a42
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/?id=cf772b028c696fc58b42d17363e0334af5e5c7d4
(Discussed in
ttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2022-08/msg00103.html).
Thank you so much for working on this! It looks way better and more useful than the old way.
The only issue I have is that the subentries aren't indented enough. I think it would be easier to read if they were indented by default by, say, about 4 chars or so to make the subentries stand out a bit more. If you glance at the index, it's easy to miss that the items are indented.
I haven't tried anything with @seentry or @seealso.
For @seenentry and @seealso, I am not sure about the classes to use, but
my impression is that the formatting is ok.
for @subentry, I am less sure, as the implementation uses different
table lines and indentation with a <span>. In addition, the change has
probably implications on the info.js reader. A @subentry is rendered as
different lines in table, only the last one having a <a> to link to the
index entry and to the section or node containing the index entry. For
example, for
@findex f---bb @subentry f---cc
the HTML is:
<tr><td></td><td class="printindex-index-entry"><code>f---bb</code></td><td> </td><td class="printindex-index-section"></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td class="printindex-index-entry"><span class="index-entry-level-1"><a href="" class="printindex-index-section"><a href="" chapter</a></td>
In this case there is only one entry with f---bb as amin entry, but if
there was another one, it could be before the part corresponding to
@subentry f---cc.
Any proposition for a better formatting? Any idea on how to help
_javascript_-ing, maybe with a custom attribute with the full entry with
commas separating the subentries?
