Thanks for this link! I've always love reading GNU manuals in HTML because it relies on your browser's navigation, which is always better than what any website could implement itself. Ctrl-F is fast because scrolling is trivial and doesn't require a Javascript callback for every pixel scrolled, and without a CSS-customized div after every paragraph, you can load web pages containing 2MB of text just fine.
