I'm staring at monitors since 40 years now, and I found many "official" 
suggestions inappropriate for me, with regards to contrast, brightness, 
color schemes and other light sources. I prefer a bright environment for 
my desk, with no significant contrast between text on screen and printed 
or handwritten paper sheets before or beneath my keyboard. My eyes are 
degrading since several years now, and I cannot read any more text on a 
dark background, as found in many websites. I also found LCD displays 
less sharp than CRT monitors, but the bigger size of nowadays LCD 
screens allows to place them further away from my eyes, while my arms 
became too short to read newspapers without special glasses.

Perhaps there's a genetic difference between troglodytes and hunters, 
with regards to the preferred dark or bright background?

So it's not only me, who is lost in many web pages and wikis :-(

PasDoc has a nice full text search feature for the HTML documents 
(tipue), perhaps it should also be added to FPDoc?
