Re: Ann: SWI-Prolog 7.1.5

Hello,

The page looks really great, definitely more modern than before. There was
some weirdness, but it has disappeared between yesterday evening and now,
and it looks even better.

I have no experience with CSS or HTML whatsoever so these are just
observations:

- At the bottom of each page, there is the "Tags: Tag Section..." text-box.
It cuts off at some length and the rest of the text initially there is not
visible. If you start typing, the text starts scrolling once you reach the
same text width.

- I don't know if this is an issue with the website or with PlDoc: there
are still backticks and single quotes here and there (for example look at
the second sentence of http://www.swi-prolog.org/dogfood.html). They look
even more out of place now: is there a reason not to render them as
``smart'' quotes? (as in, *‘ *(145 or 8216) for the opening single
quote)

Nit-picking as usual,
Boris
