You are right, Eclipse also has these useless one-line help pages. But is this a
reason to do the same if we can do better?

You want to be "user-friendly" ... so imagine a totally new user.
He/she sharts up uDig, then on the welcome screen likely chooses "Getting
started. The help comes up, telling him/her there is a tutorial. He/she
probably clicks on that link and gets an nearly empty page. As correctly noted
by "anonymous" the table of contents on the left side is not kept synchronous.

This means that our new user will have to open the table of contents manually
and select "uDig User's Guide > First steps > Basic tutorial > The workbench"
just to start the tutorial. That's not user-friendly.
User-friendly is imho, to have the contents of the tutorial displayed on the
"Basic tutorial" help page directly, as in the German and French version, even
if the Eclipse help does otherwise.

(BTW: As I just discover the TOC is not working in the German version... Arrgh.)

These "next" and "previous" links would certainly solve the issue, but as long
as they are not available I prefer my above mentioned solution.

False alarm. I take that back. I just tried by example that it works in
principle. I just picked (by chance) an image that was outdated and therefore
wasn't included in the release at all.
