yt documentation: field list
Hi In the new yt2.0 online documentation, the field_list page (http://yt.enzotools.org/doc/reference/field_list.html) no longer contains a list of just the field names. In the old 1.7 documentation there was a column on the left hand side that contained such a list with an in-page link to the more detailed descriptions. I found that to be very useful for quickly looking up what kind of fields are available in yt. Any chance we could bring such a list back?

Hi Mike, Yes, absolutely. I'm planning on rebuilding and reuploading the docs tonight. I'll ensure there's a list of all the fields. As a quick sidenote, is it useful to have them split up into different pages based on the universality / code-specificity? Or should it all be a single humongous page? -Matt On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 5:05 PM, Michael Kuhlen <mqk@astro.berkeley.edu> wrote:

As a quick sidenote, is it useful to have them split up into different pages based on the universality / code-specificity?
I've actually found that to be a little annoying, since I had to look in two different places (Universal and Enzo), but it may have its utility for people who are using a variety of codes. I could imagine putting the applicability in parentheses next to the name, like so: AbsDivV (Universal) Temperature (Enzo, Orion, FLASH) But the temperature field demonstrates one problem with that: it has a different "Field Source" in each of the three codes...

That's a better idea. I may not be able to get that into this build, but I'll work on it.
But the temperature field demonstrates one problem with that: it has a different "Field Source" in each of the three codes...
I do [now] think that it's still worthwhile to have a single page, as you pointed out. I will see if I can figure out a solution for this particular problem. -Matt
