Good points. I am planning some small changes in the Markdown support. 
I already moved the description up (after declaration, before members).

The uses section can indeed be moved down for units. I plan to add links to
the const/classes/types sections, because the menu may not always be very
accessible.

I am currently refactoring the HTML version so the layout can be changed
more easily, and descendents can be made. Once that is done, changes can be
implemented.
