I'm assuming you meant:

s/now is/is no/

but there _is_ a way:

make html
$browser dox/automake.html/index.html

lets you browse the one-page-per-node html.  Also, looking in that
directory, I see doc/automake.html/Invoking-aclocal.html with contents:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=Optional.html#Invoking%20aclocal">

which means the anchor got associated with the page Optional.html,
instead of the desired aclocal-Invocation.html.

So we _do_ need to make the swap.
