9e1d1c1566 Except for some rare cases, always use punctuation to finish a
sentence at the end of a paragraph so that the readers don't think
that some text is missing.

Consistently use colons to finish sentences introductory to examples.

6fd8dbb265 Fixed lots of typos, thinkos and grammar errors. I ran this by Nik a while
back, since he's the only one who's touched most of the fdp-primer.

a7a100da44 Remove the note about not being able to use Emacs on 'split' SGML files,
as the use of a Local Variables sections makes this eminently possible.
This is one issue in the referenced PR, but the PRs not complete, so it
stays open.

30bff5e9ff A new chapter that explains the structure of the doc/ tree and how
documentation is placed under it.  Replaces the empty FAQ section and the
only partly completed Handbook section.  This is because the information
in here applies to all the documentation under doc/, not just the Handbook.

Move the style guide information out of the-handbook/chapter.sgml and in
to writing-style/chapter.sgml.  It doesn't really belong here either, but
we don't have a general style chapter (yet).

Update Makefile to know about this, and use the doc.project.mk file.

Update book.sgml to know about the new chapter.

Remove the old chapters.
