I take it the [Boilerplate] and [Example Insertion] expanding boxes are the rest of the complete code sample? That’s great, if a bit unclear at first. I assumed clicking on the code snippet would have to open the entire sample program and the author would just hope the reader finds the appropriate section to play with.

The “something better” is more about a system for tutorial-style documentation with inline examples that are executed and can be edited and re-executed within the page. The motivating factor for my documentation is basically Jetpack for Thunderbird. The APIs are complex enough that a docstring REPL call-and-answer is insufficient to demonstrate the APIs successfully so it’s important to be able to embed HTML results in the document and nice to be able to intelligently hyperlink the JS source to the appropriate documentation.

After having re-surveyed the existing JS documentation field, the main alternative to “roll your own” was to use the approach being used by the Jetpack team, but they do not have a solution for the interactive/editable examples at this time.

Reference documentation is still important to me and my solution is able to do such things and will be able to interoperate, but I have no goal at world domination on that front.

would it be possible to filter by same subject ? I tried to look at the code, but I’m a little bit confused.

In the off-chance someone with deep layout experience (you?) would take a look, it is most useful to me to know what pieces of information they would want/need that the raw reflow debugging log provides but the summary does not, or that the raw reflow log does not provide but could. So I’ve biased in that direction…

I’m a little dismayed at the conversion of a small searchbox (the old quickfilter search box) that could be placed on any toolbar desired, into a huge new toolbar that cannot be modified in any way.

I do see the argument, and like some of the new features (the ability to create your own combinations of criteria), but I have a question…

Is this coded in such a way that the old quickfilter searchbox could be brought back but with some of the new features?

What I’d like is the old searchbox (I place everything on my menu bar, then use the Autohide extension to auto-hide/show it on mouse-over, just like the Windows Taskbar), but with the nice little Sticky pin added immediately to the left, and a new ‘select/drop-down’ menu for selecting the individual criteria – ie, you click in the drop-down, start clicking on the criteria until you get the ones you want enabled/disabled, then click off the menu and it applies your changes.
