I've raised this issue already, but I think it needs to be considered in its own thread:
What to do with Manuals->Web?

When I go there I can download the whole website as a PDF. OK, this makes sense.
Getting it as one big HTML page also makes sense.
[but where can I get it in info format?)

But clicking on "Web (split HTML)" brings you to a copy of the whole website, just several directories below the original.
This is irritating, to say the least.

If this page is there for the first two items I mentioned the text in the left box should definitely be clarified. Currently this "manual" leads the reader to believe that he gets yet one more manual, with some general information.

Are there more purposes to that page than providing the PDF and Big HTML versions of the website that I don't see?

And there is one more thing I stumbled over (although I don't find an instance of it right now): There are links from within the "real" manuals that seem to link to the website but actually point to that "web" manual (i.e. pages below lilypond.org/doc/2.17/web).

If there isn't a point I didn't see so far I tend to suggest:
- Completely rewrite the "Web" box on "Manuals->Web"
- Clarify the "Read it" box and remove the link to "Web (split HTML)

Does someone have any enlightenment available for me?
