R devel - Oct 2004 - strange link problems in html version of R FAQ

In the 2.0.0 version of the R FAQ (html format), the links at the end of
most sections look wrong in many places (but not all), starting with Section
1.1:


[...]
You can also obtain it by writing to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Next: Citing this document, Previous: Legalese, Up: Introduction 

1.2 Obtaining this document
[...]

Note the `next' link is to Section 1.3, not 1.2.

Best,
Andy

Isn't this intended? A better example is if your at the top of the long
section "5.1.2 Add-on packages from CRAN" and want to skip to the
"next"
section, that is Section 5.1.3, by click on "Next: Add-on packages from
Omegahat, ...".

I interpret the "Next: ..., Previous: ..., Up: ..." lines to be at the
*top*
of each section and not at the bottom. See for instance the first and the
last occurances. A section start with a horizontal ruler.

The links seems to be ok, at least for R v2.0.0 Patched (2004-10-13) for
Windows, if that is what you mean.

Best wishes

Well, that is the next section ... you are between the horizontal rules 
delimiting the `page' for 1.2.  Those links are just like info (as this is 
an html version of info).

Ahh!  Apologies for the confusion.  I was wondering how the links could all
be off by one section.  Now I see that it's my perception that's off...
