That's the bad one. Try clicking on Section 3.4, and then Section 3.4.1.
"You don't have permission to access /projects/gnumeric/doc/.html on
this server."
The link that ought to point to the text for Section 3.4.1 is effectivly null.
Also for 3.4.2 3.4.3 3.4.4.
At that point I gave up trying to read from the web site, a year ago.
And also today. I just used wget to download an excess of stuff from
www.gnome.org. I thought I had asked for the "gnumeric/doc" part,
which turns out to be about 15.5 MB, but I got another 80MB of other
stuff too. Now I have a copy of the html that I can edit, and will
see if the fix is obvious.
