84f8ee0a15 Use relative URLs when URL_RELPREFIX is defined and URLS_ABSOLUTE
is not defined.

- URL_RELPREFIX must always point the top page's URL
  (http://www.FreeBSD.org) in relative form, defined in Makefile.

- &url.base; can be used in doc/<langcode>/*.  It will be
  replaced with the real URL which points the top page.

For translators: Please make sure to define URL_RELPREFIX to
point the top page.  The localized docs have different directory
hierarchy in its URL from the English version.

c19cae311e * X Inside changed it's name to Xi Graphics 6 years ago. Update the
text and add a link to the website.

* Add information about the 5.0 and 5.1 releases of FreeBSD in the
  History section.  Include some information from the early adopter
  guide and the release announcements to set the right expectation for
  these releases versus the 4.X releases.  Note that when 5.X is
  declared STABLE, work will progress on 6.0-CURRENT.

FreeBSD 4.4), list only the date of 4.0-RELEASE and &rel2.current

releases will be expected throughout 2003.

0b1f1db15c Add a role attribute to the <sect2info> for Jordan's first person
account in the introduction chapter.  The author attribution for this
section should be rendered more prominently (or at least differently),
since a first person narration follows.

83b0ffe3df Remove references to the "Contributing to FreeBSD" chapter. This is
moving to a separate article.  This chapter is not appropriate for the
current handbook, it will stick out even more as we split the handbook
into smaller books, and a separate article is more conducive to being
linked from the navigation bar on the main page just like the OpenBSD
and NetBSD web sites.
