Types vignette: list tinyplot types in neater table format

[grantmcdermott]

Purely aesthetic website change from the existing bullet points (which feel a bit crowded to me).

Thoughts? We can merge if other folks think that it makes for an improved reading experience.

Very nice, I like it much better!

Small comment: Given that the descriptions are in sentence style, I would also use sentence case for the header row: String, Function, Description, Docs.

Thanks @zeileis. I actually tried this at first, but it felt a little too formal/distracting for my tastes. (I think b/c we already have quite a bit of nesting i.t.o header hierarchy, so adding another layer gets in the way of the content; if that makes sense?)

I need to check that the cross-references to the individual manual pages are working properly—I know that Quarto can be a bit finnicky about relative paths—and then will merge.

Minor aside: I was going to put "barplot" under "Shapes", but switched to "Visualizations" b/c it sometimes does automatic aggregation. LMK if you disagree.

Another layer: I was not suggesting to add a layer - but just to say "String" instead of "string" etc.

Barplot as visualization: I agree, slightly better.

Sorry, my reply was confusing (rushing before work). I get your suggestion, but I tried sentence case at first and it felt a bit too formal/heavy some reason. Maybe I'll feel differently in a couple weeks, but for I'll use my veto option to retain lowercase headings :-)
