[erlang-questions] broken documentation links (?)

[Kirill Zaborski]

Tha pattern was changed to "documentation/doc-X.Y.Z"
And also there seems to be at least 1 wrong link
in
http://www.erlang.org/documentation/doc-5.5.5/doc/reference_manual/part_frame.html
"12 Compilation and Code Loading" points to
http://www.erlang.org/documentation/doc-5.5.5/doc/reference_manual/code.html#12

but in
http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/part_frame.html
it point to man entry -
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/code.html#12

Regards,
Kirill.
