Excerpt

This row quotes no sentence: the value is calculated from other rows, and the documentary proof is theirs.

Arithmetic

278 + 19 + 11 = 308. Each part is the line count of the file this site hosts for its region, and the total is the sum of the three, re-evaluated at build time by the expression below. The Direção-Geral do Território publishes no single file with all 308: it publishes three, one per region.

Re-evaluated at every buildmunicipios-continente-caop-2025 + municipios-acores-caop-2025 + municipios-madeira-caop-2025

The same sum as an expression.

The old address is the directory the CAOP files sit in and returns HTTP 403 to every request, with listing disabled: it is not, and never was, a page that can be opened. The files beneath it answer HTTP 200. The row now cites the DGT page where CAOP 2025 is published, because it is a total over the three regional files. The value does not change.
