Bug 292560

A fix for the bug you reported was committed with http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=1276619

Works for the cases you reported (link to otherapp/index.html), but not always properly:

1)kde-baseapps/kwrite/config-dialog.html link Document Variables works

2)kde-baseapps/kwrite/view-menu.html link The Editor Component Command Line does nothing

3)kde-baseapps/kwrite/view-menu.html link Extending Kate with Scripts opens kate/index.html, but should open kate/advanced-editing-tools-scripting.html

#2 is easy, the ulink in the docbook is wrong.  I'll fix it when I get home.  (I'll also file a bug about 404.php not being displayed here like it should.)

#3 is more complicated. Khelpcenter will redirect e.g. help:/kawesomeapp/#menus-file to help:/kawesomeapp/menus.html#menus-file.  I could fix the sed expression so that help:/kawesomeapp/#menus would go to help:/kawesomeapp/#menus go to /menus.html, but something like #menus-help would go to menus-help.html and 404. 

If there aren't a lot of these kind of links IMHO we should just change the docbooks to use the help:/kawesomeapp/chapter.html#section form. If there are too many to change we'd have to fix the sed expression and check that the path argument really exists in PHP and redirect to index.html if not.

If I got it right these links have to be changed:
$ wcgrep "index.html#" .

Yup, minus a couple false positives.

I can go in and fix these a little bit later if you would like.  Should I just do it on master or backport to the 4.8 branch too?

Please only on master and add an info to backport to 4.8.2 on http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Documentation/KDE4_(health_table).

We have to give the translation teams enough time to finish docs for 4.8.1.

Thanks
