Description:
------------
Docs Feature request:

As well as the main index at the front of the manual, please could 
we have an index at the start of each section, similar to the MySQL 
or PostgreSQL manuals?

Eg. when I'm reading about a particular function, say the file() 
function, in the Filesystem section I cannot go directly to the 
start of that section. I have to click on Home at the bottom of the 
page, go to the front of the manual, then find the 'XL Filesystem 
Functions' section, and click on that to get the index page for this 
section.

Could we have a link somewhere prominent on each page in each 
section, that would allow one to return directly to the index page 
of that particular section?

That would make navigating the documentation alot quicker.

TIA

Keith

Web documentation has link to a section in left column.

Thankyou for pointing that out Jakob :-) Is there an online version 
for the PEAR manual as well, in the same or a similar format please? 
If not, is there a bug tracker for the PEAR manual?

The PEAR manual can be found at http://pear.php.net/manual/
I don't know how or if they have "downloadable documentation".

If you were referring to the "downloadable html documentation" in your original report then I have added a "up" link to PhD (i.e. if you are looking an the strpos() manpage and click "up" you'll get the string reference page).

Yes I was refering to the downloadable html documentation in my original request. Thanks for adding that link to each section index, bjori. TY for the link to the PEAR documentation as well.
