Hi,

In the PS or PDF versions of the RTL documentation, and then the reference information about the 'SysUtils' unit. In my docs it's chapter 37.

The sysutils unit has "related topics" like the "Date and Time formatting characters".

I noticed that those related topics appear before the "Used units" and "Overview" sections. Is this correct? Shouldn't the "Used units" and "Overview" be first and then "related topics" following?

I'm basing the IPF output on the structure of the PDF documents, and just want to be sure which order is preferred for the extra "related topics"

In the HTML output the "Uses units" and unit "Overview" comes first, then the listing of related topics. And the PDF document is other way round...

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/index.html

As far as I can see, the HTML output makes a bit more sense than the PDF ordering.

It can be easily changed. I personally have no preference.
