When a node is so large that it is a pain to find something in it, we should try to split it up. Would someone like to try to split these? I will take a look at those two. However these two are not even the largest nodes in the Elisp manual. `Creating Strings' has 204 lines, `Building Lists' 252 lines. Many sections have more than 204 and a few have more than 252. For instance, `Window frame parameters' has 338 lines, `Coding Conventions' has 347. Probably everything above 100 lines, certainly above 150, can be inconvenient to search if only one single paragraph in the middle or the end is referenced. I believe we can not get all sections below 150 lines. So there definitely seems to be some need for using @anchor. Sincerely, Luc.
