1. <f1> for help
2. Go To 'Creating Web Pages' → search page for "color names"
   » First one will work, lead to
   » Second one is dead, leads to https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp 😥

a) Repair hint: Link Target should be https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp

For the new target address: it's the same as https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colornames.asp, isn't it? (I'm just wondering if there's something I'm not seeing that makes one of these different.)

Sadly, it used to be more usable [1]: it showed colors right away. Now I guess it needs javascript to show colors?

(In case it helps, this link is in suite/locales/en-US/chrome/common/help/composer_help.xhtml in the comm repository (for comm-central, line 422 [2]))
