Scribble Browser Support Policy

This document describes the intended browser support range for HTML manuals generated with #lang scribble/manual.

This policy defines three levels of support:

  • Full support (all features).
  • Partial support (documentation features)
  • Minimal support (reading documentation text)

Any feature must work correctly in all browsers with full support.

Features that are not needed for reading and understanding the documentation, but that are intended for developers of the documentation or other specialized audiences, such as links to implementation, may not work in browsers with only partial support.

For browsers with minimal support, it will be possible to read the text of the documentation, but all other features (such as proper styling or links) may be missing.

Currently supported browsers

  • All "evergreen" browsers current within the past 12 months (this includes Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and other regularly-updated browsers based on similar). "Current" means if that browser was shipped to users within the past 12 months, it is fully supported.

  • Partial support includes any browser released within the past 5 years with at least 1% use on https://docs.racket-lang.org As of June 1, 2020, that includes the above browsers only.

    Note that the only browser not in the above set with more than 1% share is Chrome 38 as distributed on the Nexus 5, which was discontinued in March 2015.

  • Minimal support applies to all widely-distributed browsers. That is, it is important that the text of the documentation appears in Links, IE 6, Opera Mini, etc.
