[Bug manual/21383] New: HTML format of license in manual has sections misnumbered but refers to sections by number


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21383

            Bug ID: 21383
           Summary: HTML format of license in manual has sections
                    misnumbered but refers to sections by number
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.25
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: manual
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ambrus at math dot bme.hu
                CC: mtk.manpages at gmail dot com, roland at gnu dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

The GNU libc manual contains a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License
version 2.1 in "manual/lgpl-2.1.texi".  When this is HTML-formatted, such as
displayed in
"http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Copying.html#Copying";, the
sections are numbered wrong: what is originally section 6 of the Terms and
Conditions is displayed as section 7, and what is originally subsection 6a is
displayed as 7.1.  This is a big problem, because the text of the license
refers to those sections by their original number, so the meaning of the
license is unclear.
