About the CSS reference page

[David Bruant]

Hi,

I've recently been teaching some HTML and CSS. I pointed to the CSS
reference [1]
I noticed 2 issues when it came to asking CSS newcomers to search in it:
1) non-standard or poorly supported properties are not different than
standard or widely supported ones

I'm not sure I have a good idea of solution for this one.


2) it is ordered alphabetically, so when there is a question like "can I
do /this/ with the text?", it's not easy to browse all text-related
properties.

What about gathering properties by theme? like "text", "box model",
"positioning", "background", etc...
Maybe additionally or alternatively to alphabetic order?

That's a good idea. Actually, what we probably need is a way to switch
between an alphabetical view and a topical view. This is something
that could be facilitated by my request that Kuma support a way for
articles to use tab boxes easily...
