The "_005f" is a legacy from the automatic conversion from Texinfo. In Texinfo, link names could not contain underscores and so for instance the link to the GDB usage was "gdb_usage". The conversion to rST seems to have taken a broad view of what might be a punctuation character that needed escaping, and so converted the '_' into a hex-representation (ASCII 0x5f being '_'), giving "gdb_005fusage". thanks -- PMM
