About
crate-docs-theme==0.29.0
has been released, including the updates to the primary navigation coming from crate/crate-docs-theme#391.
- The reworked CrateDB Cloud Docs project already has it, see https://crate.io/docs/cloud/. Other projects will need to be rebuilt.
- Navigation seems to work well, or will work well, when all pages have been refreshed in Fastly's cache.
Details
On the preview page, and in this screenshot, you will see both toctree variants currently defined at cloud-docs:/docs/index.md.
The bottom section reflects the previous physical structure "Reference vs. Tutorials vs. How-To Guides", and the top section is made of a handcrafted toctree, which is reflecting the same structure and the order of the items from the "Manage" section of that page, directly referencing corresponding sections of the documentation, no matter where they are located.
Q&A
On this matter, I am asking which variant you would prefer? I think the handcrafted version has a point, while the other one, based on the previous physical structure, will be dissolved anyway in the course of the next iterations? Let me know if you have a different opinion, or other suggestions about this layout/design/structure/UX detail.
