Description

In some cases there is duplication in the lists of "See also" and "All other matches".

A specific instance is:

?round
...
See also:
 ? num
 ? den
 ? floor
 ? ceil

All 2 other matches for "round":
 ? ceil
 ? floor

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

JAA does not like the duplication:
  • it makes us look inept (why didn't we bother to "clean" one of the lists?)
  • it wastes vertical space (the actual manual entry scrolls up out of sight)

#2 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

The "See also" list is determined by whoever wrote the manual entry (its contents are "handwritten").

The "All other matches" is generated automatically.

I suggest using the title "All further matches", and then listing only those entries not already mentioned in "See also". If there are too many "further matches" then there should be a message like "There are also N further matches for XYZ".

Seems ok on round and indets.
(code in OnlineHelp is pretty horrible, but it works)
