Re: Cross-referencing (fwd)

Dear Ali:

could you say a little bit more? First, what type should we give;
should it be 
<ulink type="help" url="help:libxml">
or type="http" or "ghelp"?

Second, could we link in the same way to man pages and info pages?

And most important, do you think these 2 problems you mention can be
overcome in time for 1.4? I do hope that help will be rendered in
Mozilla; please do not tell me we need to use gnome-help-browser for
1.4 ...
