Did you try not to follow them?  They are only there for those who
want the details.

//I tried not to follow the endless hyperlinks, but it just spoils the reading experience.

Who would want to jump to advanced, when you have not even explained the basics yet..

Majority of people wouldn't be interested to read like this.. read page number 10 -- then jump to 200.. then come back to 11.. go till 20.. then jump to 989..

If you feel the details at 989 is very much needed to what you have explained at 20, then it should be page number 21 and not 989..

Finally, I would like to get my hands on emacs.. But couldn't find a proper guide yet.. Guide me with some hyperlinks/articles on emacs for beginners that you're aware of..

Thanks,
Gokul

Yes, I guess pictures will be worth about a thousand words.
Volunteers are welcome.


> And the other thing i already pointed.. wasn't that specific.?  Endless hyperlinks pointing to further pages makes the guide clumsy and spoils the reading experience.
