Javadoc parameter listing display is hard to read (too compact)

Sep 25th, 2009

I recently moved from JDK1.3 to JDK1.5 and find that the display of parameter listings in javadoc output is now hard to read. The lines are too close together.

I think this has to do with the fact that the doctype at the top of each HTML page has changed from:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

to:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

It seems that the HTML 4.01 must use more compact lists.

So, is there some way I can either change the way the parameter listings display via a CSS edit (couldn't figure out how to do this), or is there a way to force javadoc to use the old DOCTYPE? Or, is there a different solution all together?

Thanks in advance for any help.
