URL now part of sequence!

[Meeussen Wouter (bkarnd)]

A question and a suggestion:

Q: where does the *short* link "http://purl.net/net/eisa/A057752"
come from? what's 'purl.net'? is it a mirror? will it stay?

S: for the familiars : we know (now) that clicking on the [[Sequence:]] link
teleports us to the page "[[A012345]] formatted as a simple table", and we
also know that the first part of that title is a link [[...]] that can be
copied for forwarding purposes.
So, why not drop the long text line "URL : ..." and change the text
"Here is Sequence A012345 (this will take a moment)" into
"Here is Sequence [[A012345]] (this will take a moment)"
where [[A012345]] stands for a blue underlined link (to the page it sits
on)?

that way everybody is happy, and we can send links to people not yet very
familiar with EIS.

Wouter.

In response to some really excellent suggestions from sequence fans,
the reply from the lookup will now include the URL
for each sequence, right after the "ID line"

This is just in the beautified format of course - it is added on the fly
by the cgi script.

Let me know if there are any bugs!
