Public bug reported:

Rev. 788
Ch. 3, § "Navigating to another page", p. 50 (PDF p. 52)
Type: error in URL

Manual has:
One example is “http://www.ubuntu.com/.”;

Though not clear from my quotation, the full stop has been included as
part of the URL. While it doesn't cause a problem (e.g. 404), it is
technically wrong. On this occasion it might be better to use logical
quotation and put the full stop outside rather than inside, as American
convention dictates.

One example is “http://www.ubuntu.com/”;.

If it *must* be inside, then it should at least be extracted from the
URL.
