Better Zend Framework Documentation

If you’ve every tried to navigate the Zend Framework documentation’s longer pages you’ve probably looked everywhere for a table of contents.  Sure, there’s a TOC for the major sections of the component, but if you’re looking for a specific part of a page (or an overview of what that page covers) you’re out of luck.  For example, take a look at the Zend_Validate list of standard validation classes.  Now try to find the documentation on the URI validator.  Can’t find it?  That’s ’cause it doesn’t exist.  Too bad you had to scroll down through 39 page-lengths’ worth of documentation to find that out.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you’d had something like this:

Well, there are two things you can do.  The first is to vote on ZF-9509 and ZF-9508.  But until the documentation is fixed, you can download my Greasemonkey script that gives you a page TOC right now:
