RE: Best practice for technical documentation page length on awebsite?

["Jessica Weissman" <Jessica -dot- Weissman -at- hillcrestlabs -dot- com>]

We present the documentation (for an API) in two formats, PDF with
ordered numbered sections and subsections that can be skimmed easily,
and a searchable electronic book with topics presented in a window.  I
format the electronic book so that introductory topics have links to the
subsidiary topics where that makes sense.

Not much complaint so far.  We'll see if external developers are as
content with it as internals are.
