Is it just me? When opening the Docs (F1), typing a search string, and 
double-clicking on one of the results in the list, brings me to a 
non-relevant place in the docs.

Examples:
pigments, pigment_map, or pigment_pattern, all bring me to 3.5.12.7.2 
The map_type Option. This is not what I am looking for.

pigment maps, brings me to 2.3.11.10.5 Creating the triangles. ???

plain textures, brings me to 3.8.13 Global Settings. More ????

point light source, brings me to 2.2.8.2 Using INI Files....

Shall I continue?  ;-)

Something seems to be broken here...

Thomas

It is just you ;-)

Yep ... Thorsten and I changed the format of <indexentry> tags for 
something we were working on for the Wiki and I failed to flag Chris on 
it. He (Chris) does some post-processing to the documentation before 
formatting it into windows help format (chm) ... sorry about that folks!

p.d.inbuilt? Never heard of that one, but good that it is known.

I /may/ take a bullet for mentioning this but check out:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Special:Index

Keep in mind it's still a work in progress

Thanks Jim. We shall survive (just) the ensuing chaos comparable to the 
Maya calender events (I guess this is one of the preliminary ones) :-)

Not just you.
It looks almost totaly broken.
Clicking a key word in a scene also don't work.
The index part almost always lead to totaly unrelated areas, and if you 
land in the correct area, it's normaly not at the correct location.
