cb76e5c4e0 Turn off the rule beneath the chapter title if the chapter is an
index.  Our index is layed out differently (two columns) so the rule
overlaps text.  This only affects the NICE_HEADERS option for print
output.

Nuke the distinction between the Networking and Advanced <part>s.
These are all now one big System Administration <part>.

Add some chat to the beginning of the two main parts explaining what
they are for, and how they are organised.

43796b8868 Update references to the staff section of the Handbook to point to the
"Contributors List" article.

Remove the list of contributors from the "Contributing to FreeBSD"
chapter.

Remove the "High Priority Tasks" and "Medium Priority Tasks" from the
"Contributing to FreeBSD" chapter since this destined to always be
hopelessly out of date.  Keep the information about what we always
need.

aec10572d4 Combine parts of Chapter 21 and Appendix D from the FreeBSD Handbook
into a separate 'Contributors' article so that everything is in one
place.  This was done for various reasons :

  * This information is way out of scope for the Handbook.

  * When we talk about "Contributors" to FreeBSD or developed by "A
    large team of individuals" on the web site we can point the user
    to a complete document on our web page rather than two separate
    chapters in the Handbook.

  * We can create a plain-text 'CREDITS' file from this SGML and put
    it in /usr/share/misc or similar for all FreeBSD installs if that
    is desired.

78a16adcf8 Rewrite the synopsis for conformity. Rewrite large chunks of the
introduction, boot0, boot1, and boot2 text to conform with what the
synopsis tells the reader the rest of the chapter.

Throw in a gratuitous Baron Munchausen reference.

47ac963590 Add a more comprehensive Synopsis to this chapter. Ideally, each
chapter should start out with a parapgraph about the content, a list

already know.

f9ccc49092 Add a new tunable knob 'MIN_SECT_LABELS' and the necessary stylesheet
support.

This option prevents section labels from being numbered after the third
level.

make FORMATS=ps :

  "N.N.N Section Title"
  "N.N.N.N really specific topic"
  "N.N.N.N.N really-really specific topic"

make MIN_SECT_LABELS=1 FORMATS=ps :

  "N.N.N Section Title"
  "really specific topic"
  "really-really specific topic"

The section titles are still bold, spaced away from the text, and
sized according to their nesting level.
