 tags - I just looked at my original code and they aren't there.

Code examples in the body of the function (not the comments) is in a gray box for easy identification - and it just looks much cleaner in my opinion.  The big bonus is the "Search" (by function, whole site, documentation, others).  That would be a big bonus touch to add.By the way, this was my original design:http://www.garykrockover.com/webdnareference/index_old.htmlThe pages themselves are populated with an iframe, so if SMSI updates the docs, it's current here.
