Re: Where has the manual on one html page gone?

[Diego Zamboni]

I'm not the OP, but I find the one-page manual useful when I'm not sure what I'm looking for or where in the manual it might be, makes it easier to search through the whole document iteratively.

I've always used the one-page per section version on the web (although
I tend to use Info much more often), primarily because I thought that
downloading the whole manual to just look at a section or two or five
would be inefficient - in fact, I've wondered why the single-page
versions of various manuals (particularly the larger ones: emacs and
elisp) are made available. So it is idle curiosity on my part, but
what are the the reasons for your preference?
