Description:
Hard to find description of needed function/datatype/whatever in articles. No table/list of content for each article. For example, for page http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html.

How to repeat:
-

Suggested fix:
I think it would be much better if articles with function/datatype/whatever descriptions had a clickable list of all items in it's beggining.

For example, a large article:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html

It would be great if it had list like

- ADDDATE
- ADDTIME
- CONVERT_TZ
- CURDATE
- etc

So it would be easier to find something in a page. And I think it would be easer to grasp knownledge of what mysql is capable.

Updated description.

Thank you for a reasonable documentation request.

We have just added the summary tables for the functions and operators into the manual. You can find examples:
