Re: [STUMP] New Manual hosted on stumpwm.github.io

David,

     Great work on the new manual.  I like this version.  I was in the middle of typing

up a response to the original email, when I got the email about the update you've done.

      Using margin-right and margin-left in the body { } in style.css might be a good idea

along with percentage values.  This will allow it to be more readable on a mobile device

as well.  It could stay centred but slightly wider margins so more of the real-estate is

taken up by the body rather than blank space.

      Other than that, I like this second version better.

cheers,

     mehul

More feedback is definitely welcome! Its really nice to hear that people
are benefiting from my work (even if I don't get it right the first
time).
