+      Given the size of this chapter, locating information about a specific function or
operator 
+      can be time consuming. To simplify this task, anchors for each function and
operator have been added
+      to the manual. In the HTML version of this document it is possible to navigate
+      directly to a specific function if you know the HTML page where that function
appears. You can do this by 
+      appending
<literal>#function_<replaceable>function-name</replaceable></literal>
+      to the URL. For example, to find out information about the
<literal>DATE_FORMAT</literal> function
+      using the online version of the manual, go to the page that deals with date and
time functions 
+      (<ulink
url="&base-url-refman;/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html"></ulink>) and 
+      append <literal>#function_date-format</literal> to the address in the
address bar of your web browser.
+      This will take you directly to the <literal>DATE_FORMAT</literal>
function. If you have downloaded
+      the single page version of the manual you simply need to add the appropriate anchor
reference.
+      In a similar fashion, you can navigate directly to an operator by appending
<literal>#operator_<replaceable>operator-name</replaceable></literal>
+      to the appropriate URL.
