You can use "s" instead of "software" but that is about it. That "s" part is really meant as a typing aide and little more. It isn't meant to be used as a canonical name for the page. https://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Integer-Type.html Bob ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

But I agree that having shorter urls would be nice. I'll raise this with webmasters@ and see if we could maybe set up redirects like these for GNU package manuals: https://man.gnu.org/pkgname/node/* → https://www.gnu.org/s/pkgname/manual/html_node/* https://man.gnu.org/pkgname/mono/* → https://www.gnu.org/s/pkgname/manual/html_mono/* https://man.gnu.org/pkgname/* → https://www.gnu.org/s/pkgname/manual/* A subdomain per package might make sense too (as in your example for emacs), though it'll require more work (either manual or automatic DNS updates) and may not scale too well. -amin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
