There is a page on "Cross Referencing Other Documentation" here : http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook/gdp-handbook/ar01s07.html I haven't tested any of this, mind. I would like to move the section "To Format a Floppy Diskette" in "Using Removable Media" from the Nautilus guide (".../gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide/gosnautilus.xml", "F1" in Nautilus) to the GFloppy manual. The details in the Nautilus guide are missing from the GFloppy manual and I believe them to be superfluous in the Nautilus Docs, I would like to provide just a link to the GFloppy manual. Which brings up the links between documentation question : do they work, are they a good idea or should they be avoided ? Does anyone object to moving this documentation, is this a bad idea ? Could I just do the mods, file a bug/patch and play it from there ?
