Hi,

I'd like to change the style sheet so that our ELPA weg pages don't
spend as much screen real estate showing:

    To install this package, run in Emacs:
    
    M-x package-install RET haskell-tng-mode RET

I don't want to remove this info, just make it use less space.
I expect it should be a very simple change to make in the CSS, but
I also suspect that it would be much easier for someone more familiar
with CSS than I am.


        Stefan

I feel that in general the "margin-bottom" value for paragraphs could be
reduced to 1em (from the current 2em, in layout.css:129), without
squeezing the page together too much.

Another idea might also to be to use details elements[0] to hide the
information by default (most users will know how a package is installed,
I suspect the note is added for people installing their first packages),
but to present it in more detail if explicitly requested.

Also related to the website, I think the NonGNU ELPA webpage could be
improved. This is how it currently looks like in Firefox when I shrink
the window:


[-- Attachment #2: Screenshot_2021-10-18 NonGNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 81345 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 431 bytes --]


First of all the "NonGNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive" is too packed, and
the instructions to configure NonGNU ELPA for versions prior to 28 are
wrapped in a <code> instead of <pre> element. Only the former preserves
indentation as intended, so that should be replaced.

I would fix these issues, but I cannot find where the HTML and CSS is
stored. Nongnu.git seems to have no html directory like elpa.git.

<details> is nice!

The other that occurred to me was simply to pull the instructions up
inline, so instead of:

<p>To install this package, run in Emacs:</p>
<pre>M-x package-install RET ebdb RET</pre>

We use:

<p>To install this package, run in Emacs: <code>M-x package-install RET ebdb RET</code></p>

Saves a fair amount of vertical real estate.

FWIW, I like 1.5em, 2em or 1em, in that order.  Feel free to install
whichever change you prefer here; I don't think anyone will protest as
few people here care strongly about the details of our web design.

If it has reasonable support in typical web browsers, then I don't see
why not.

It appears to be well supported:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details#browser_compatibility

I'd say the real question is if this is necessary in the first place. A
single line in the body doesn't seem worth hiding.

No objection (nor opinion) from me.

Given the fact that the info is short (single line), I think
hiding/revealing would be over-engineered.  I was thinking instead to
bring the two part onto a single line which shouldn't take much more
space than the lines like Description/Latest/Maintainer/... above.

I think it's in the `main` branch of `elpa.git` in the `html`
subdirectory (it's the same CSS used for NonGNU).

I don't know if this is related at all, but the spacing around lists and
code blocks looks kind of wrong to me (especially when normal text
follows it).

Some more things I noticed:

- the font of code blocks (but not inline literal stuff) looks smaller
  than regular text.
- there seems to be a bug where every table has the search box as in the
  package listing, see e.g.
  https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/consult.html#org48fd831
- Subsections (numbered X.X) are displayed just like normal text.

Yes, but where is the index.html for NonGNU ELPA located?

Ah, I think it's currently "nowhere in Git".
I suggest you add it to elpa.git:main:html

I am not sure what you mean by this? Do you mean elpa.git (or nongnu.git),
on the main branch, in a html directory?

Yes, I was thinking the `html` directory of the `main` branch of the
`elpa.git` (which is what I meant by `elpa.git:main:html`).
But if you prefer putting it in a new `html` directory in the `main`
branch of `nongnu.git` that would work as well.

Yes, this confused me because index.html is for GNU ELPA, so I couldn't
just name it index.html for NonGNU.

Having to many implicit dependencies between elpa.git and nongnu.git
seems like potential for confusion.

Along these lines, should nongnu.git:main:html also contain the other
files (css, images, javascript, ...)?

Could we perhaps simplify all this by moving such things into a third,
shared repository?

(BTW, how about renaming "elpa.git" and "nongnu.git"?  I find it
slightly counter-intuitive and would prefer something more explicit like
"gnu-elpa.git" and "nongnu-elpa.git".  Alternatively, the "new" nongnu
ELPA repository could be named "nongnu-elpa.git".  Maybe it's too late
to suggest this though.)

Or even everything into one, with elpa.git and nongnu.git being
different branches.

The files are shared via symlinks and they're copied from the Git clone
to the web site in an ad-hoc way anyway, so there's no great benefit to
try and have a structure in the Git that matches the Web
site's structure.

I suggested to put the file in elpa.git:main:html so that's the only
place from which we need to copy those files, which makes things
marginally simpler.

Would someone please explain to me the question under discussion here?
What change has been proposed?

The HTML files of elpa.gnu.org are stored in elpa.git, but the HTML
files for elpa.nongnu.org are currently not part of any repository.

I wanted to know where/how it would be best to add the HTML files for
elpa.nongnu.org, so that contributors like me can suggest changes.

I see.  So adding it to elpa.git makes sense, but I think adding a note
to nongnu.git:main:README would also be worthwhile.
