Why are there two names in use for the

* User's Guide (used on the documentation web page)
* User's Manual (used inside the on-line (HTML) version)

I find it confusing, and it poses a dilemma when referring to it: How to name it in the reference?

Is there a good (and stable) way to reference (sections of) the documentation, e.g. from the FPC Wiki or from my own web pages for teaching?

By the way, the links on <http://www.freepascal.org/docs.html> to the PDF versions of the documentation don't work for me; actually, it is the pub directory in <ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/> that doesn't work.

In the on-line HTML documentation WITH comments, the ligature 'fi' has disappeared; e.g. the word 'files' appears as 'les'. In the version WITHOUT comments, it appears OK. Probably caused by a bad conversion step (from a PDF, rather than from the LaTeX source?).

Stack is replacing their main fileserver this week. If ftp.freepascal.org resolves to the 131.155.*.* range for you, that could be the cause.

I'll alert them asap that this broke.
