In regards to this problem, I stumbled upon bug #114117 and the relevant
discussion on this list:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2003-May/msg00036.html
It sees that the intention was to have no change in behavior for app
developers, but sadly it's not there yet.
Could you please orient us as to when we should expect the correct behavior
with displaying sect3 level headings?
We are releasing our stable version soon. Releasing it with broken help links
is not a nice thing to do for our users.
Please help!
Thanks,
Alex
