In the *_bib.html file, the anchors should be inside the paragraphs, or else the html validator complains. E.g., change ``` @article{1602.00352, ``` to ``` @article{1602.00352, ```

I get this error when compiling on Mac OS 13.4: ```m2 ../../../../../../../Macaulay2/packages/ForeignFunctions.m2:566:9:(2):[69]: error: dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, GC_malloc): symbol not found ../../../../../../../Macaulay2/m2/methods.m2:154:80:(1):[67]: --back trace-- ../../../../../../../Macaulay2/m2/option.m2:17:8:(1):[66]: --back trace-- ../../../../../../../Macaulay2/packages/ForeignFunctions.m2:563:30:(2):[65]: --back trace-- ../../../../../../../Macaulay2/m2/methods.m2:154:80:(1):[64]: --back trace--...

doubly nested cache table

This extra cache table should not be there: ```m2 Macaulay2, version 1.16.0.2 with packages: Colon, ConwayPolynomials, Elimination, IntegralClosure, InverseSystems, LLLBases, MinimalPrimes, PrimaryDecomposition, ReesAlgebra, TangentCone, Truncations i1 : M = ZZ^2;...

``` $(eval check-$i:; \ if ! grep "CacheExampleOutput => true" @srcdir@/$i.m2 >/dev/null ;\ then @pre_bindir@/M2 -q $(STOP) -e "needsPackage(\"$i\",LoadDocumentation=>true,DebuggingMode=>true); check($i,UserMode=>false); exit 0" ;\ fi )) ``` Instead, `check` should take...

"dagger" category

The readme file should state how/whether the library is copyright/licensed, before it can be used with Macaulay2.

html invalid

See https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fhabanero.math.cornell.edu%3A3690%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 . It shows 39 Errors, 7 warning(s). This should be fixed.

package documentation, top level nodes

The following packages have not documented the packages themselves: Graphs, RandomPlaneCurves, and RandomCurves. See the list at http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/doc/Macaulay2-1.8/share/doc/Macaulay2/Macaulay2Doc/html/_packages_spprovided_spwith_sp__Macaulay2.html

We keep having build failures due to gcc-9 mangling (?) some C++ names in a way different from the way clang on Mac OS does. Here is an experiment to...
