I am also trying to create an official website for my project using fossil's Web UI and embedded document function (/doc or /dir).

At that time, I noticed that /doc displays an index file, and /dir displays a readme file.

In addition to the embedded document in /doc, I would like a directory description to be displayed for user convenience when browsing source files in /dir. However, at present, index files and readme files have almost the same role and are required for /doc and /dir.

When considering display on the web, I think that an index file, where the /filename can be omitted, is more appropriate than a readme, and I think it would be more convenient if the index file was also displayed in /dir.

The modifications are simple and straightforward. What do you think?
