> When I double-click on most of the index items, the "Locate",
> "Previous", and "Next" buttons become disabled, which is slightly
> annoying.

> In Section 6.0, "Scene Description Language":
> > For details on those five items see section "Language Directives",
> > section "Objects",
>            ^^^^^^^
> The link here only includes Object and not the s, and the link points
> to "References to 'object'", instead of section 6.5 as it should.

> In Section 7.13.4, "shapesq.inc":
> > Bicorn
> >     [...]
> >     y^2 - (x^2 + z^2) y^2 - (x^2 + z^2 + 2 y - 1)^2 =
>
> Equals what? :-)

> In Section 7.18.3, "Woods:" (the colons from these section titles
> probably shouldn't be here, for consistency):
> > Dark_Wood
> >     Dark wood with a,ish hue to it.
>
> Huh? :-)

> MISSING HTML LINKS
> In these cases, the text pointed to should probably be a link, but
> isn't.
