* Add SGML comments at the top of the files with the $Id$ string. RemoveNik Clayton1999-03-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | most of the other spurious comments. Two comments relating to copyright have *not* been merged in from the LinuxDoc version yet -- I've contacted the original authors to ask if they would be willing to assign the copyright to the project. When I get their response the copyright comments will either be merged in, or left out, as necessary. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=4477
* Huge whitespace changes. Translators can ignore this commit completely.Nik Clayton1999-03-071-142/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rationale: All the changes to the DocBook handbook so far have been careful to keep whitespace changes to a minimum. This is so the translators have as easy a job as possible in identifying exactly what's changed. This has meant the English version has become more and more 'ugly'. Lines indented by the wrong amount, some lines longer than 130 characters, others shorter than 20, gaps of 3 or 4 lines between paragraphs (and sometimes within paragraphs). This makes it difficult to follow the structure of the document, and needlessly complicates fixing SGML problems. It also makes the source practically useless as a teaching aid; the more baroque the source looks, the less likely people are to dive in and contribute. This commit fixes all that -- and boy was it tedious. The snag is, it's touched almost every line in every file in the Handbook. Technically, the changes were made by running (in Emacs) sgml-indent-or-tab (bound to the TAB key) on almost each line (except those in <programlisting>, <screen>, <literallayout>, and other verbatim sections), and then running sgml-fill-element (bound to C-c C-q) on most paragraphs. FWIW, this is the first, only, and last change of this type contemplated. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=4472
* Created a new set of entities for manual pages.Nik Clayton1999-03-071-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The construct: <citerefentry> <refentrytitle>foobar</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>1</manvolnum> </citerefentry> is a pain to type, and messes up the pretty-printing of the source code. Replace every occurence of a entry like that with: &man.foobar.1; Adjusting the manual page name and section number appropriately. The definitions for these entities are stored in man-refs.ent. This file is in doc/share/sgml because it is not just specific to the Handbook. I expect the DocBook'd FAQ and Tutorials (coming RSN) to use them as well. A new PUBLIC identifier has been created for these entities, and added to the catalog file. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=4471

The merges are as follows (if a file isn't listed here it's because there are no changes to merge since the LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK tag was put down). File From -> To Merged to files... --------------------------------------------------------------- authors.sgml 1.118 -> 1.128 authors.ent boothelp.sgml Added contrib.sgml 1.312 -> 1.329 staff/chapter.sgml eresources.sgml 1.50 -> 1.51 eresources/chapter.sgml handbook.sgml 1.91 -> 1.95 handbook.sgml mirrors.sgml 1.92 -> 1.99 mirrors/chapter.sgml porting.sgml 1.112 -> 1.118 [1] ports.sgml 1.31 -> 1.33 ports/chapter.sgml printing.sgml 1.22 -> 1.23 printing/chapter.sgml stable.sgml 1.17 -> 1.18 cutting-edge/chapter.sgml [2] submitters.sgml 1.246 -> 1.261 contrib/chapter.sgml [1] Merged changes. Part of these changes are the migration of the "Making a port" section from contrib/chapter.sgml to ports/chapter.sgml [2] Merged some changes. 1.18 demotes some of the section headings so that the -stable section will appear on one HTML page. This is not the case with the DocBook stylesheets we're using, so wasn't necessary. For the time being, the -stable headings will follow the -current headings. This can be revisited after the migration is complete. There will be one more merge pass once the Handbook in doc/handbook/ is frozen, and then a pass to reformat (refill) most of the lines in the Handbook so it's more aesthetically pleasing. The SGML parsers don't care, but it makes it easier to follow the structure when editing the documents. * Removed sgml-shorttag: nil sgml-minimize-attributes: max from the Emacs local variables at the bottom of each file. It didn't do quite what I was expecting. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=3906
