But changing this now give them very few time to implement it :( You could at least add an option to debiandoc2html to disable these links, I guess many people will be annoyed by them. Moreover, have a look at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ There are only 2 links: <link rel="next" href="about.html"> <link rel="contents" href="cover.html#minitoc"> because it does not make sense to make all these links available. Other pages have 3 links, to previous, next and toc pages. This looks like the right thing to do. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
