Limit summary in tooltips #515

Closed etcimon closed 10 years ago

etcimon commented 10 years ago

The summary for items like SysTime is quite long and really spans across the screen, it would be good to limit it to 300 characters and add an ellipsis with (in bold or italic) the keyboard shortcut configured to find the definition . e.g. [blablabla... more: F4]

Also, the summary or params get hidden (crash?) if they contain a '&' character

Finally, I think summary should be dropped in favour of examples when they're present (Examples:\n-------------\n ...code... \n-----------------\n ). It's a quicker visual reference even for functions I know

Imho I actually did limit descriptions' sizes some time before. Anyway, I can have a look on it, again. :)

I don't believe the summary should be dropped in favor of examples ever.

In v2.4.6, only the first paragraph of a symbol's ddoc is becoming shown. #541
