Say you're on https://dlang.org/library/std/range/primitives.html and try to find your way to https://dlang.org/library/std/range.html.

Clicking on "range" in the navigation panel doesn't help - it just collapses/expands the tree branch.

What's the design here?


Thanks,

Andrei

Oh yeah, this is something that has been bugging me for a while, but I haven't got around to fix. The problem is that due to the way the navigation menu currently works, there need to be two entries for packages that have a package.d (the upper one will snap in/out while the bottom one will open the package documentation). We'd have to change the UI to be more like a classical tree control with a +/- box at the left.

Alternatively, the package.d entry could be put as the first child item of its package and get a special name (e.g. "Package documentation").

That sounds good! -- Andrei

Also the links in the fully qualified name (at the top) should include
links to the package.
