Opinions vary. . In my view. never more than once a

only if they are long sections, or the section about that particular
thing. Once per normal screen (40 lines or so) is wildly excessive.
Assuming people get beyond the first screen, they know how to scroll.

Thanks, that was what I needed. My concern was
that on some lengthy
pages, someone may jump to a section of the page not containing the
reference and miss the fact that one exists, but I guess everything has
a tradeoff.
If they're in close proximity, it's pretty easy - only link one. As
you say, though, this becomes a bit trickier for several instances.
The first time in each new section is often a good rule, or the first
time in a "screen" of text - a very hard to define way, but generally
a useful one! Certainly don't feel required to only do once per page
if this seems clumsy or unhelpful.
