So you have DOC=html-split in your makefile.

It's using DOC=html, which just produces one mammoth book.html file
instead of splitting it up into multiple files.  That still doesn't
explain why you are getting problems with the links though.  Are
you letting it fully download all of the page before clicking the
link?

If it hasn't downloaded all of the source, then it may not have the
anchor tag for #USERPPP yet, in which case it won't find the anchor
and won't seem to do anything when you click the link.
