Kofa, thanks for the clarity.  There are other links that I've found so far.  It appears that these two links go to very similar pages: http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/ and https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/.  Within each of these pages there are links that lead here - http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/darktable_user_manual.pdf and https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/darktable_user_manual.pdf respectively.  Then there is this one - https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-3.4.0/darktable-usermanual.pdf. All are shown as being for v3.4. So how is one to know which of these five is the most current, leading edge document, but not the bleeding edge (development) version?  One could very easily become confused by the plethora of literature?

There is:

http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/

and

https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/index.html

are they the same? Which one should I use?
if you looked at them, surely you noticed a difference.  use the one that
is for the version of darktable you utilize.

should be very easy to make that choice.
Since they both say 3.4, and in fact *are* for 3.4, the question was
valid and the answer was just as wrong as arrogant.
https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/index.html is 'old' in the sense
that it's the updated version of the 'old style' manual. Nevertheless,
it has been updated for 3.4, but is the last such update. It is
available in multiple languages.
https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/ is the new version, and that
is the format that will be used in the future. It has fewer
screenshots (which tend to change often, and are therefore hard to
maintain).
Finally, https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/ is, as far as I know,
the latest and greatest, updated for the development version (even
though its version number still says 3.4). It's automatically
generated from https://github.com/darktable-org/dtdocs
The latter two are currently available only in English.
