CSS Reference for v.11 should be hosted together with JavaDocs

[eugener]

For v.10 it is hosted at
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html

See if there is anything that can be done with Google when searching for the JavaFX CSS.
Unless specifying the JavaFX version, the top most results is for JavaFX 2, then JavaFX 8.
One need to search explicit for "JavaFX 10 CSS" to get the latest.

The css reference is already part of the online javadocs for each release. For JavaFX 11, it is here:
https://openjfx.io/javadoc/11/javafx.graphics/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html

Not sure what we can do about Google's search results, though...

Btw, the CSS Reference Guide is linked from the description of the javafx.css package docs, among other places:

Would it make sense to refer to it directly from the javafx 11 release site?

[kevinrushforth]

Not sure. It's been linked from the javafx.css package docs in the javadocs since JavaFX 8. If you think most people don't know that, it could be useful to provide a link from the release site. Of course you could say the same think about the FXML reference (which is linked from the javafx.fxml package docs).

In any case it is easy to do. Will add if we have an agreement from few people here

There is no result for the JavaFX 11 CSS Reference.
https://www.google.com/search?q=JavaFX%2011%20CSS%20Reference

Unless people know exactly where to find it, they would have a hard time getting to it. This is specially so for new developers. When I need to look at the reference I just google it, but now I probably need a bookmark to get to the 11 version. I tried to see if I could browse to it from http://openjfx.io/javadoc/11, but that was not easy. First you need to know which module the CSS Reference is in, then which package. The CSS Reference is mentioned at the end of the package description.

I always go to the FXML/CSS references from the tutorial page. Because it's not a JavaDoc, I think it could use its own place.

[kevinrushforth]

I don't think hosting it separately is the answer, since it only has meaning in connection with the JavaFX API and is tied with the particular version of JavaFX. Having a pointer to it from the release site would be fine, and based on the few comments here, seems useful.
