The idea was to, at least partially, translate some of the manual, in
order to get a better feeling on how Mallard works. As a teacher, I am
particularly sensitive on the tools for teaching. If the tools don't
feel right, or some important aspects are missing or the toolbox is
too restrictive, I feel these either have to be completed at an early
stage or looked for another another toolbox entirely. 

This is no criticism on Mallard (yet ;). I just wanted to be convinced
that the basic elements are there (they weren't, as the in-page links
issue showed, but a solution is almost there). I also feel an
auto-indexing mechanism should be there for off-line reading. The CSS
needs some work too.

Anyway, the work wouldn't be a lost effort, the pages can later be
reorganized into another structure.
