It's much easier to scroll around the web page than to click on navigation buttons moving you around in random ways. It's much easier to scan text while scrolling to find what I want. Or what if I just did a text search in the browser for the keywords that I'm looking for. I eventually end up in some appropriate section. Now I want to send the section link to someone. -- Ray

The link to that section is in the address bar of the browser, and is very easily harvested.
Feature request: self links for sections
A bit of a feature request for texinfo files converted to html. For example, visit https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#Writing-a-Texinfo-File. You get to section "2 Writing a Texinfo File". This is fine. But it would be nice if I could click on the title (or something) to get a link to that section. For example, visit https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#AudioContext. You can click on the character at the very left to get a link to this section. Really handy when you want to send a link to someone. -- Ray
