I'm disappointed in a change they just made. The search box on their
home page
http://www.htmlhelp.com
used to give you a simple, one-line per entry, list of hits. Now
they've converted to a Google site search, and you don't get that
no-nonsense results page any more.
Note the lack of any ref to Google-based search on this archive of that
page at the WayBack Machine, from April:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070406173204/http://htmlhelp.com/
Compare to today's search function:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/index.html
On the flip side, this frustration led me to find the two
straightforward list pages (which I'd not seen before because I always
just used the simple search):
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/olist.html
For the other, there's a link near the top of that one for the
alpha-sort list.
I'd suggest either of those as your bookmark into the site.
Also, look at this page again (my original link to this site):
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/block/pre.html
See how "contents" says "inline elements except", followed by the
exceptions list? Before the recent reworking, "content" simply listed
what was allowed, rather than showing exceptions to the list that
appears on a linked page. That's a ninor niggle, I'll grant; but I
won't withdraw it. :)
