MDN info pages aren't ideal

chaot · 02-25-2015, 02:09 PM

Hola!

I know this thread does not really belong to MR or calibre. Only that calibre takes reference to MDN info pages when using the Show help for-function.

Example: The English info page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...b/CSS/position and German one https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/CSS/position regarding 'position'. Those who know the context this kind of pages are no longer needed (so much) - to others they are pretty messed up and poorly to understood.

According to (thorough) inspection my objection will be uncommented clear.

Info pages should inform rather than making confused.

I know we are all invited to contribute to the improvement!
And I know that right now I can't help as to refer to these discrepancies. The correction needs expertise.
Helping proper translation may be later.

Thanks for attention and tolerance!

Which alternative help pages would you rather calibre referred people to? I am sure if you can suggest a more informative page Kovid would be willing to change it.

Create publicity and stress was my intention.

I can't suggest better info pages.
