Huh? It should say something. The -link option didn't exist in
the version that came with 2.0.5. Anyway...
-links When used with the -html option, for each <label id="foo"> in the
document source sgmlfmt generates a symbolic link foo.html point-
ing to the numbered .html file containing the reference. Since
the number of the file containing a particular section can change
when a document is modified, this provides a convenient hook by
which separate documents can provide links into another document
without the links becoming invalid when the target document is
modified. When creating a symbolic link, any occurence of a
slash (/) in label is replaced with percent (%), while any oc-
curence of a space is replaced with an underscore (_).
Its very useful if you want to put these documents in a WWW
server and have links between them.
