[erlang-questions] Erlang documentation cleanup (PREV: R13B01 modules, quick reference)

[Zoltan Lajos Kis]

You can give the search engine at gotapi a try
(http://www.gotapi.com/erlang). It needs some fixes, but probably will do
what you want.

Anchors already exist in the documentation, in the non-xhtml style (<a
name="anchor" />) .

Regards,
Zoltan.
