It would also be clearer to us non-techie types that it wasn't a reference to the programming language. >In most cases, you don't browse the files directly on svn.gnucash.org, but via >www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml.

The new framed presentation on gnucash.org of the documentation hides the true documentation URL, which means that when I want to refer someone on gnucash-users to a specific page in the documentation, I have to {CTRL-Click|Right-Click} on the appropriate link so that I can get the actual link that will get them directly to the section that will give them information on their topic.
