One more thing: Sorry in advance for the approximate translations of chapter titles... :-[

Fixed links.

Thanks a lot for that, Paul.
I wonder what the matter was, I thought my links were okay (copy-pasted the entire URL up to the last slash, duplicated it 24 times for each link, then added each filename behind them individually). It is a fact though that it's become extremely complicated to do things since the WYSIWYG functions of the text editor disappeared a year and a half ago, along with the toggle mode for display/code and the preview function...
Were all the links wrong? If so, I apologize. I had to leave hurriedly after finishing that post without taking the time to double-check.
