If you like to mirror this per-section version, with all due copyright/licensing issues from the Lojban Language Group Incorporated ( http://lojban.org/llg/genlic.html ), you can download the html per section version i've made at: http://xahlee.org/lojban/hrefgram2.zip This archive will be removed in a week or so. Although this newer doc's underlying XML/HTML code has gone thru somewhat extensive change, but still the final result is not a valid XML/HTML doc. I think the only one problem left is that some paragraphs don't have

tags. Such paragraphs you can see that run over to the right edge of the window. e.g. first paragraph at: http://xahlee.org/lojban/hrefgram2/c6-s04.html i haven't looked if there is a safe systematic way to search & add the tag. If you intend to mirror the doc, or if lojban group like to use it etc, note that the header & footer pertinent to my own site can be easily removed by a find & replace text editor or tool. Also, the style sheet can also be easily edited. A new html problem with the new version is that many links to examples are broken, because of the section separation. I haven't thought of a safe and systematic way to fix this. The version on my site http://xahlee.org/lojban/hrefgram2/index.html will gradually change as i read each section in more detail. I intend to modify it to a somewhat leaner version so that the output is more suitable for a general reader, or perhaps condense it by remove any background discussion or extra linguistic info. (i plan to do this very slowly, perhaps up to a year.) In this process, i will be fixing all the missing

tags and broken links... but probably not before i edit the content as well. So, if anyone like to rip the fruit of this per-section version, grab the zip file now and go from there. Thanks for the lojban people for making lojban possible, and the Logical Language Group Incorporated for permission of derived work.
