As I review the book, we have several places where we reference specific
pages in LFS. For instance in the "Locale Related Issues" page, we have:
<ulink url="&lfs-root;/chapter06/man-db.html"/>
where &lfs-root; is defined as "../../../../lfs/view/&lfs-version;" and
&lfs-version; is defined as "stable"
The reason we use this relative link is to maintain consistency when
viewing the online html book on a mirror. The problem is that it looks
ugly.
I propose that we change the display, not the url, like this:
<ulink url="&lfs-root;/chapter06/man-db.html">LFS Man-DB page</ulink>
There is also an issue that the url is less than informative for the pdf
version of the book where the url will also be printed in parentheses.
In that case, the &lfs-root; entity should be changed to
"http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable";
A quick grep of the book shows this situation in the following pages:
basicnet/netprogs/inetutils.xml:
general/prog/gcc.xml: (twice)
introduction/important/bootscripts.xml:
introduction/important/locale-issues.xml:
multimedia/videoutils/mplayer.xml:
postlfs/config/profile.xml:
postlfs/security/shadow.xml:
postlfs/editors/vim.xml:
server/databases/db.xml
