Now I notice that the indexes are different between the manual versions "one web page" and "page per node". Is there any more synchronisation needed for this documentation? Would a link be nice besides the paragraph "Variable definitions are parsed as follows:" from the section "3.7 How make Reads a Makefile" to the section "6.8 Defining Multi-Line Variables"?
