Ah... I think I see what has been causing you and everyone (including me) problems. The HTML version of the standard documentation has a main page that links to all the individual documents (tutorial, reference manual, etc.). Clicking on any link, say the link to the tutorial, brings you to the directory containing the HTML version of the tutorial. It should in fact load the index.html page of that directory. If you have a web server on your machine, then the server should automatically load the index page. For example, the online version at http://www.sagemath.org/doc/ assumes that there is a web server in place to serve pages and automatically load index pages. What I think should happen is that each link should point to an index.html page, not to the directory. That way, you don't need a web server running on your local machine. I think this should be fixed in Sage 4.1.1. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
