Hi

http://pasteboard.co/1HmIxzsJ.png

Tried using an iframe - problems are:

1) Border around iframe - not sure if this can be reduced/removed

2) When left hand menu showing, it is not possible to add comments (i.e. no + sign appears)

3) When menu hidden, plus sign shows, but asks to sign in to comment - when link selected the iframe content goes blank

So not sure iframe is a workable solution.

Will see what customisations can be made to the gitbook itself to look more integrated - however wondering whether we should do much customisation, as I think users know they are navigating from a website to documentation, so would not be concerned with a different look and feel - as long as a consistent approach was used for all documentation.

Regards
Gary
