I also think the only entry that needs to remain is this one: +manual/groff.html.node manual/html_node The "WACKYJUNK" thing was a test. The two after it _should_ be fixed or made redundant by introduction of `@anchor`s new to the groff 1.24.0 version of our Texinfo manual, which I uploaded last weekend. Err, checking up on it, that's only true of the first. The second one, "preconv", doesn't seem to me to have a great place to redirect to. (There's a "pindex" entry for "preconv" that goes to the "Groff Options" node early in the manual.) It might be okay just to let stale links to "manual/groff.html.node/preconv.html" 404 now. I'll take a crack at it. Thanks for the heads-up! Regards, Branden
