Re: Issue with downloaded manualsIf 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

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,

you'll be missing the style sheet and all the images.

              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
