2ad2c2ecc3 Insist on using ${name} as the prefix for global names even
stronger, as suggested by dougb@, but do so in the right context.
I.e., don't fire all the requirements at once in the last section,
but tell each of them where the current topic is most appropriate.

Polish some wording and markup.

d3b1240703 - Recommend using the same name for script itself,
${name}, PROVIDE, and rc.conf var prefix.
- Distinguish flags from options when telling why -foo
  doesn't belong in $command_args.  ${name}_flags can
  contain both dashed options and arguments, so saying
  "flags" when I mean options was confusing.

d5b45016fd Stop suggesting the use of the dangerous prefix "force"
with rc.d scripts.  The prefix "one" is the safe way to
override rc.conf once.  OTOH "force" will disable sanity
checks as well.

306a4b2db3 - Suggest using ${name} wherever appropriate.
- Be more concise and clear on the requirement of /bin/sh;
  the former details weren't really interesting.
- Link to the rc.d section of Porter's Handbook.
- Mention /etc/network.subr.

2951ed254b Batch of various tiny fixes:
* Replace first Windows occurence with trademarked entity

  * Add trademark info for Microsoft Windows and Symantec Ghost.

  * Replace "FreeBSD" with &os; and "ports collection" with &ports;,
    to keep the capitalization consistent.  Also introduce an &os.ports;
    entity, which expands to "FreeBSD Ports Collection", to uniformly
    refer to the Ports

  * Add <emphasis>, <application> and <quote> tags here and there

  * Use manpage entities, instead of <literal> for FreeBSD
    command-line utility references

  * Various minor grammar and syntax nits

3892fc8415 o Reword a bit in a couple of places, to avoid using 'necessary' and
'need' twice in the same sentence.

o   Replace <literal> tags with <emphasis> for `tag', `port' and
    `package' (they are really used as FreeBSD-specific terms, not as
    <literal> text here).

o   Expand a paragraph with inline URIs, which result in pretty awkward
    line breaks in PDF/PS output, to a <variablelist>.  This separates
    the URIs from the running text, and looks slightly prettier in print
    output.

a01b4db776 Suggest using /etc/rc.d/mountd onereload' instead of reload',
to make sure that `mountd' is (re)loaded even if it's not yet
enabled in `/etc/rc.conf'.

Ideally, `mountd' should already be enabled in `rc.conf', but if
`mountd_enable' is not set to "YES" in `rc.conf', then running
the rc.d script with a plain `reload' argument does nothing.
Using `onereload' (with the rc.d-specific `one' prefix) makes
sure that `mountd' is temporarily enabled for the run of this
rc.d script and it does indeed reload its config files.
