File also doesn't exist in hdf5_2_0_0 branch?

this is an example wget command - can we avoid the link rendering as an active link.
Perhaps Insert a zero‑width space after the colon to break auto-linking: wget https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/releases/download/hdf5_1.N.N/.tar.gz

Remove this line.
I don't see the need to make these statements.

| Since this portion of the HDF5 documentation is now part of the source code, it gets the same treatment as code. In other words, issues, inaccuracies, corrections should be reported as issues in [GitHub](https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues), and pull requests will be reviewed and accepted as any other code changes. |

Unneeded historical background. Simplify the reporting instructions. If they are even needed.

I've been wanting to remove it. There is a mention of where to report documentation issue in the documentation itself. Or, I can change this to a one-line notice too.

We should probably abandon this PR.
And new PR to change the https://support.hdfgroup.org/downloads/index.html entry for hdf5 to redirect into doxygen.
https://support.hdfgroup.org/documentation/hdf5/latest/rel_spec_20.html
On the Doxygen side the release is 2.0 not 2.0.0 ??

The page is still a draft because the links are not ready, but the PR can be reviewed for the changes so far.
