Document Status: Work In Progress (attinasi) +
The goal of this document is to provide extensive links to documentation +on the Gecko Layout components and classes. There are two sections containing +links to the documents, and there is overlap between these sections by +design. First, there is a 'Topics' section, +where documentation is listed by generic topics, more or less free-form +and ad-hoc. Second, there is a 'Class and +Component' section, where specific classes and components are listed, +mapping naturally to the source code. All documents should be indexed in +both sections, so pick the index that corresponds to what you are thinking +about. A Tech Notes section is also included to help +contributors find information on small topics and issues, including simple +'How To' cookbooks. + +
+For information about the structure of layout documents, see the Layout + Documentation Overview and the Layout DocumentationTemplates + (High + Level Design Template / Detailed + Design Template). + ++ +
