Looking over the documentation on, https://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/tour/tour-of-scala.html.html, and in the second paragraph under 'Scala is functional,' there's a link, processing of XML data, that doesn't seem to direct me to an active page but rather Not Found, 404. The link address: https://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/tour/xml-processing.html

I think the best fix here would be to omit the reference to XML entirely. At one time, a decade ago or longer, built-in XML support was one of Scala's banner features. These days, it isn't worth calling attention to, especially in such a prominent position.

(Aside: in the same sentence, lord knows what "right-ignoring" is supposed to refer to, it doesn't mean anything to me.)

Yeah, there was an attempt to remove references to XML in #743, but I guess we missed a few.

Is this still an issue? Visiting the page right now, I found this link to be directed towards https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/wiki/XML-Processing - which loads successfully.

I notice the original post gives a link with two ".html" extensions. Seems to redirect, now. Was that the issue?

I think this was fixed in #1606 (comment).
