Replying to [comment:11 dimpase]:
> oops, I meant the setup when the sagenb server is run on a remote host
(rather than on localhost); then the docs are served somehow via a web
interface, isn't it?
yes, but i don't know enough about sagenb/notebook server to give you any
answer, sorry. there are also related issues, e.g. that the
sagenb/notebook server doesn't show documentation in other languages – but
that's in my eyes outside of the scope of this ticket.
> Generally speaking, do Unix webservers allow symbolic links in the docs
they serve?
yes and no. the documentation on the sage website is served as static file
via apache. Following symlinks is explicitly enabled and it's basically
just a copy/paste of the output files.
What the notebook server does is different, because it serves the files
via its own server – there is also this live-documentation served via
/doc/live/…
So, in conclusion, there are (at least?) three independent things moving
around:
* local installation of Sage
* Sage Documentation at sagemath.org/doc (that's where mvgnu and I can
weight in, we also have our own script that updates
sagemath.org/help.html)
* sagenb.org [and others] /doc/live/ <- and the menu that's in the help
popup window.
