Phil,
I have, but it's interesting. FF support point out that if there's a file name
it's turned into a reference to the file on the server. This makes sense to me.
FF doesn't check if the file name is the same as the one being viewed.
If I save the first page of the Notation manual (I've not tried the others yet,
but I doubt if they're different) in IE or Opera all of the links are changed
to point to the LP website. It's only Firefox which recognises local links and
keeps them local, and also saves the relevant files. Neither Opera nor IE save
anything but the stylesheet and JS files.
Is there anyone here who can try it out with other browsers, or confirm my own
experience?
Best regards,
Peter

If you check HTML syntax, you'll find that the #location is an anchor, and
identifies a location in the page that the link is pointing to.
If there's a problem, it's with Firefox: I suggest you raise an issue with the
developers.

Phil,
I think I've found the problem. Most of the links in the web site are of the
form "#location". The TOC frame has links of the form
"notation-big-page#location" which Firefox interprets as a request to point to
the original server rather than the local copy. After all, had the file name
been different it wouldn't have been downloaded so the link would have to point
to the server.
The question remains: why is the page coded this way? Is there some reason that
I can't think of that the TOC needs to point to the server. Or is it an
oversight?
Best regards,
Peter

So it's Firefox that will be creating the non-relative links. In the original
HTML files, the server is not a part of the links.

Thanks Phil.
I saved the page (in Firefox). This saves the page and the associated files.
Best regards,

How did you download them? If you simply Save the html file, you'll be missing
the style sheet and all the images.

Subject: Issue with downloaded manuals
I've downloaded the big file HTML version of some manuals, and the links in the
table of contents frame to the left of the window refer to the LilyPond web
site, rather than the local copy. The links in the main text refer to the local
copy. This is a bit of a pain if the internet's being slow (or possibly it's
the servers), as well as a bit confusing.
Is this meant to happen?
The manuals I've tried are the learning, motation and internals.
Regards,
Peter
