Gmaxwell points out that one issue with viewing WP on PDAs is large
pages, and this has also been reported to be an occasional problem
even for desktop browsers -- admittedly generally only for _very_
large pages, like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WSS/ST, seemingly.
It occurs to me that we _nearly_ have a fix for this: if one edits by
section number, which one can do by suffixing the page URL by
&action=edit§ion=N, and then previews, one gets a view of that
section, by itself. Obviously there's the difficulty with finding the
right section without being able to view the TOC, and the nuisance of
this requiring more than one step and generating an unwanted edit box.
What I'd like to suggest, then, is an added action (or else some sort
of integrated mode) to render only the lead section and TOC; and an
action to render a single section, by number (as with section-editing,
but without the edit box, and the separate preview step). Then,
rather than #-style links in the TOC, have links to the section-view
actions. As my PHP is non-existent I've no idea if this would be
difficult to implement, but it doesn't sound mega-complicated. Make
sense to anyone else?
Cheers,
Alai.
