Hi,

Inspired by the upcoming interop session on documents and standards, I have created a prototype alternative (more modern) view on the IVOA documents - Some more detail about what I have done is in the https://github.com/ivoa/IvoaDocViewSite/blob/main/README.md  and the result is published in CI to https://ivoa.github.io/IvoaDocViewSite/ 

This is clearly fairly rough still, but is the result of only a few days work, and is only on a subset of the documentation and essentially no thought has been put into the structure of the left hand contents panel - it just picks up what is available.

I think that it does offer some insights on

* style of content desirable for paper vs online at the time of authoring
* consistency in content style between different documents
* how amenable content is to automated processing - how many teaks have been put to get the output to look exactly how the author wanted it to appear - content vs presentation.

Hopefully it can make a contribution to the discussion.

Paul.
