I haven't spent much time with build 203 yet, but the previous AS build had
a nice documentation framework with an implementation that was less than
perfect. According to the 203 documentation, this is supposed to have been
improved.

The main problem I had was that some things weren't indexed, and for other
things there were multiple identical index entries, pointing to different
topics in the documentation. Finding the desired topic could be difficult.

Hopefully, that has improved in build 203.
