It is designed for users of text-based browsers and/or low-bandwidth connections. oldweb focuses on text as it is the lowest common denominator for accessibility and compatibility with people and hardware. == Reasons * No CSS. Encouraging users to use CSS leads to problems like copy-paste hijacking: http://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste External CSS also increases page load time as it often blocks page rendering. Asynchronous loading of CSS also causes accessibility problems as links/buttons may move as a user attempts to click. * No JavaScript. There is a constant barrage of security and client-side performance problems associated with it. It's also unreasonable to expect users to rely on LibreJS and inspect every piece of JS they run. * No frames. Frames are an accessibility hassle and unfriendly to users of tiny screens on mobile devices and text-based browsers. * No images. Not everyone can view or afford bandwidth to load images. This also reduces the potential for security vulnerabilities as less code gets run. Furthermore, loading the wrong image in a public place can get you arrested (or worse). Encourage readers to simplify and speed up their browsing experience. They can disable CSS, JavaScript, and images in their browser without missing out! == Usage gem install olddoc cd $ANY_RDOC_USING_RUBY_PROJECT rdoc -f oldweb == Changes olddoc 1.2.0 - multiple archive URLs Users using .olddoc.yml to add links to mailing list archives will now be pleased to know "ml_url" and "nntp_url" fields accept arrays.
