I had another look, ignoring markup for now, and I'm afraid there are
a couple of further issues which you'll ("you" not necessarily equals
"Toon", though <g>) need to change. Specifically, I noticed the following:
- Please avoid absolute links to http://gcc.gnu.org unless there are
strictly necessary (as is the case for Bugzilla or the mailing list
archives).
Example: Instead of "http://gcc.gnu.org" simply write "../".
- Frontend -> Front end (according to codingconventions.html)
- Studies in usability have shown that using "here" for the text of a
link should be avoided, and we follow that rule for the GCC web pages.
Example: Instead of
<p>A discussion on extensions we are thinking about providing is
<a href="extensions.html">here</a>.</p>
please write
<p>We are also thinking about providing <a
href="extensions.html">language extensions</a>.
- There seem to be several reference to sourceforge.net (e.g. concerning
the mailing list) which probably should be updated.
Hope this helps,
Gerald
