Hi.

I understood differently.

I think this is right.

The publish feature only means exporting several files at once. IIUC,
what was written was that when using the publish feature, the exported
html pages will be coherent and a link in one document pointing to
another document of the same publish call won't be broken.

But IIUC, publishing the whole stuff again will result in totally
different links. They will still be coherent and no broken link from one
document of the whole to another. But a browser bookmark pointing the
published lot the first time won't work with the same lot the second
time.

Did I understand correctly?
