I don't quite understand what you are trying to achieve then. The HTML man
pages look good to me, there may be a few broken links, but that's just because
the linked manpage don't actually exist. Actually maybe I understand now, are
you trying to avoid adding links to these non-existent pages?

On a related note, a bunch of other pages (that is, not man pages) on the
website have broken links, see e.g.:

https://www.openssl.org/docs/fipsvalidation.html (the UserGuide links lead to
nowhere, and a few others as well).

https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2014/12/23/the-new-release-strategy/ (which
links to https://www.openssl.org/about/releasestrat.html)

https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2015/01/05/source-code-reformat/ (which links
to https://www.openssl.org/about/roadmap.html)

etc...

Also, all the pages refer to a "favincon.png" file but the file is actually
called "favicon.ico", so the little browser icon is not shown.

Also^2, the links in the top menu are missing a trailing "/", this causes a
redirect every time they are clicked (this is not exactly "broken", but may be
worth fixing as well).

On a related note, can we get the new logo in image format (ideally svg)? So
images on https://github.com/openssl and https://www.openhub.net/p/openssl can
be replaced with something less ugly (and ideally the favicon on the main site
as well).

Cheers
