Help documentation links broken on Hubzilla sites

Is this a known issue that the links to the help page returns "Page not found." on seemingly most Hubzilla hubs? For example on this hub #^https://hubzilla.org/help, and on my Hubzilla hub it also returns this.

Yes, the Hubzilla help system is currently broken. After an update, it no longer links to the correct language versions, which is why these then result in a 404.

A workaround is to add /en/ after /help/ in the URL. If you call up the manuals in this way, you can ‘browse’ the manual with the respective TOC without this trick.

I am currently rewriting the help. The German-language version is ‘finished’ (will certainly be supplemented, improved or extended here and there). For an impression (and actually also for practical use) there is a version outside Hubzilla here: https://hzhelp.pepecyb.hu/

I am now in the process of translating the help into English, which will certainly take another two or three weeks. Then the English version MUST also be proofread, because my mother tongue is German and not English ;-)

The English version can be viewed here (still at the very beginning): https://hzhelp.pepecyb.hu/en/

I hope that the new help documents will then be adopted in Hubzilla and implemented in such a way that the help system can be used again from Hubzilla (i.e. on every updated Hub).
