Maybe getting > rid of the header line is an improvement all around. To avoid the so called "display bug" (same visible info twice) the proposal was to make look both lines different. We can achive this goal replacing "Next: ", "Prev: ", and "Up: " with graphical elements ("-> ", "<- ", and "^ " or real arrows if supported). Arguable enhancement proposal: repeat the navigation bar at the end of every node page. -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
