Hi -doc,

What's the proper way to link from one document to another?  The FAQ
and Handbook generally refer to each other using "../".  This works
both ways, and for all kinds of directory structures/layouts.  What's
the correct way to link from, say, the PPP primer to the Handbook,
though?  With the "/docs/en/books/whatever" layout, "../" still works;
that layout doesn't seem to be used, though (it's still on
www.freebsd.org, but the current Makefile in www/en doesn't update
it).  It doesn't work for the case where the ppp-primer is
tutorials/ppp, though; using "../../" seems evil, since that will
break for just about any other layout.

Suggestions?
