Thanks for the heads-up Ethan! I did not realize that. I'll switch to
pdf then. To me it does not really matter! Whatever is current is
better.

Yes, that is a problem. Sorry, I don't have any good answers. I
noticed many broken symbols etc. in the "gnuplot stable" html docs
too. I assume that again arises from those buggy ill-maintained tools
as well.

BTW, what is the primary format of those docs, just wondering. pdf?
html? eps? etc.
