The current rules has: If the present manual is split, and the referent manual is also split, the directory is ‘../referent/’ and the file is the expanded node name (described later). ... If the present manual is mono, and the referent manual is split, the directory is referent/ and the file is the expanded node name. In both of these cases, I think that it would be better to replace 'referent' by 'referent_html'. As a side note, most of the actual cross manuals references are done thanks to htmlxref.cnf anyway. > > I believe it is the gendocs.sh script from Gnulib that is used by many > > GNU packages for building web documentation; we should check this > > still works with any changes. > > Indeed.
