Hi Dave,

A link for each module that jumps to the man page for that module is  
what will make this easier. I noticed that you mention the module name  
at the top of each block as well as one each line that lists a  
function. The hyperlink would ideally be on each line that lists the  
function (since it requires less navigation once a desired function is  
found).

And given that the man pages are auto-generated, I am guessing they  
use a particular naming convention for the anchors. If so you might  
also be able to make each function in your index a hyperlink that  
jumps to its description in its module's man page. This would be a  
great bonus!

Thanks.

p.s. there are 71 entries that are prefixed with erlang:erlang: (the  
module name appears twice).
