suitable section (DocBook vs. HTML section) and with an explanatory
note that this element is a FreeBSD extension to DocBook.

b98392cee3 By default, emacs doesn't set tab fillers and page width correctly for

properly.

Since the word list is in the doc project primer, it should follow the

fb12aad004 Remove ``cannot'' from the word list. We aren't building a
dictionary, so it doesn't make sense to list common, every-day words
with well-known spellings.  Besides, "can not" is a proper, albeit
confusing, construct.  For example:

	The quick brown fox can not jump over the lazy dog.

The above isn't saying that the fox isn't capable of jumping over the
dog, but rather that the fox is capable of *not* jumping over it
(e.g., it can walk around it).  It is confusing (and should be
avoided), but nonetheless valid, English.
