New Manuals: Single Page versus PDF Version #members_manuals


 

I am starting this topic following a more detailed look at the new Members Manual in connection with the earlier Enter Your Two Factor Authentication Code topic. I am raising it here rather than going direct to the beta docs Subgroup to see if my thoughts are shared by others or if I am just a lone voice.?

At first I looked at the pdf version, and found the section about 2FA very quickly; it is in the index and has a specific section number in the format x.y.z.

For no real reason I then did the same search using the "Single Page" version. 2FA is not individually indexed (although the same text is present once it is found) and there is no section numbering whatsoever. Although I will not pretend to have researched this exhaustively I came away with the conclusion that (a) the Index in the pdf version is better, and (b) the lack of section numbers in the single page version is a weakness.

Imagine two (or more) people trying to investigate something; one reports "I found <whatever> in section a.b.c on page (d)" and the other will say "I can't see any section numbers or page information".

Overall I much prefer the way the pdf version is presented; if there there are to be two different formats then IMHO their appearance should - insofar as is practicable - be the same.?

Do others on here share this view?
