No, they (or at least links to them) typically are that bad! Mind you, as far as fragment identification is concerned, so are a lot of html pages. But even if the links do have fragment ids, pdfs still impose a significant overhead: I don't want stuff swapped out just so that I can run a pdf viewer; a web browser uses up enough resources as it is. And will Hoogle link into pdfs?
I prefer HTML for online viewing and PDF for offline.
BTW, you might consider a trick: look up the PDF on google, use the HTML view.
That sort of misses my point. Given the length of time I've been involved with it, I hardly need encouragement to use Haskell, but if even I find getting to the documentation off-putting, having to know a trick to do it isn't exactly going to draw the reluctant programmer away from its bad language habits. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk http://www.chaos.org.uk/~jf/Stuff-I-dont-want.html (updated 2007-05-07)
