Hello Texinfo peoples,
We have a suggestion that Guile's HTML manual, e.g.
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/master/guile.html/Procedures-as-Values.html#Procedures-as-Values
should have the <title> be defined like:
Procedures as Values: Guile Reference Manual
instead of
Guile Reference Manual: Procedures as Values
Any thoughts on if this is possible and if so, how to get it working?
Cheers,
Andy
