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.
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.

need the <informalexample> element. So remove it. Simple search and

tags LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK_START and LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK from doc/handbook/.
Note that the LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK tag is not necessarily at the HEAD of
the file. So some files won't show changes because changes were applied
after I laid down the LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK tag.
Not everything was merged. In some cases, URLs had been shortened;
http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/
becomes
../docproj/
This is a mistake, since users browsing the Handbook on their own machine
can't be expected to have links like this work. Of course, for mirrors,
they'll end up pointing back to the main site. For the mean time, do
nothing -- this will need an entity defined to reference the base URL
of the FreeBSD site, individual mirrors can set this as necessary.
Notice how some files (on the left) are merged to the same file (on
the right). This is because the new Handbook file structure is organised
on DocBook chapter lines.
Files with no revision number in the "From" column didn't exist when I
started the conversion.
