Subject: [gentoo-pms] The "Feature Availability by EAPI" table is uglier than Portage code

1 The "Feature Availability by EAPI" table looks nasty. Once we add EAPI
2 5 in there, it won't properly fit on the page. Here are some ideas:
3
4 Left align the 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 column headers.
5
6 For "default_ phase functions" and "econf arguments", there's too much
7 column text. We could either replace this with "see text", or put a
8 quick summary into a different table and say "see table D.2".
9
10 We could nuke the first column.
11
12 We could put in some "light" lines on the table. Then for features that
13 are shared across EAPIs, we can do this:
14
15 | 0 1 | 2 3 | 4 5 |
16 +----------------------+------------+--------------+-------------+
17 |Use Dependencies | No | 2-style | 4-style |
18 +----------------------+----+-------+--------------+-------------+
19 |src_compile | 0 | 1 | 2 |
20
21 possibly with multi-column text centred.
22
23 Or we could do it using some kind of background shading on cells
24 instead?
