Table of contents links in PDFs point to HTML files instead of the proper place within the document

[DavidGriffith]

Links in the table of contents in a PDF file are typically expected to point at the relevant sections within that file. Instead the links point to the equivalent place in the HTML files generated.

I can't reproduce this. When I visit https://eblong.com/zarf/glk/Glk-Spec-075.pdf (or a fresh-built version in the repo), the table-of-contents links work correctly, within the PDF.

Here's that file that I built from the current main:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/irezffp2msh0nsp2db5ev/Glk-Spec.pdf?rlkey=pkj4uleel1beihrzlxlzyjint&dl=0

Also, why would my file be 105 megabytes when yours is only 475K?

It looks like something weird is going on with wkhtmltopdf on Debian and Devuan to cause these two problems. Is there any reason why htmldoc cannot be used to create the PDF files?

I don't know, is there?

I tested htmldoc on Mac and the results had pretty bad font spacing:

This was with the command

htmldoc --webpage --charset utf-8 --bodyfont Times --fontspacing 1.2 --embedfonts --outfile test.pdf dist/Babel-Treaty.html

On the other hand, wkhtmltopdf drew the <h1> line in white instead of black, so I dunno what the best option is.
