Any reasonably organized reference documentation?

Alexan

I'm pretty frustrated with the organization of the documentation.

For instance, look at this page:

https://www.backtrader.com/docu/indautoref.html

The left column is a list of pages of varying topics and depths in a seemingly random order.
The search is ineffective in finding reference documentation, e.g. "where is the strategy reference docs".
There is no index to for the functions (!WTF?!). The only way to find a function documentation is to use in-page search, which is ineffective for common terms like "Average".

It seems like great effort has been put into the documentation and there is so much there, it's a shame it isn't organized in a usable way, particularly for developers just needing API reference documentation.

Am I missing something?

Since you are the first person here complaining about documentation, than you are definitely missing something. And this is really annoying.

I think you are missing the point that all of this - code, docs, web site - was done by single person in his free time and given to you for free.

You can stop use of backtrader anytime if it causes you so much pain.

Yes you are.

You could make proposals and not simply criticize.
You could fund a project to get new documentation written in a way you think it's proper.
