R devel - Oct 2001 - html bug in internal links of documentation (PR#1117)

Full_Name: Carlo Maley
Version: 1.3.1-1
OS: Debian Linux 2.2
Submission from: (NULL) (140.107.26.74)


I noticed while reading some of the html documentation (e.g. R-intro.html) that
many of the internal links in the documents were broken.  At least they
don't
work in Mozilla 0.9.3.  This is because the strings for the internal references
include %20 rather than just spaces.  This could easily be fixed with a perl
script to replace all instances of %20 with ' '.

I tried this on R-intro.html and it worked.

Spaces in links are *supposed* to be coded as %20, becauses
spaces are not allowed in URLs, including internal links. At
least, with some versions of Netscape, links with spaces don't
work.
