to use, and will need replacing with something like <programlisting> or
<literallayout>.

CGI scripts) to a common format, which is

The only quotes left now are either around items for which I'm not 100%
sure which element to use, or in literal blocks as part of commands the

so I can check my progress, partly so that others can offer comments on
the result of the conversion.
See <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/~nik/handbook/book01.htm> for the first
results. Keep in mind that the conversion has not been fine tuned in any

These changes can not be automated, the Japanese team will need to go

I'm halfway through (line 16704). It's been quite instructive, and I'm

in English, to be consistent with the doc/ja/ hierarchy.
Rather than moving the existing FAQ and Handbook over to this directory,
they will be converted to the DocBook DTD, and the results of the conversion
will be committed to this new hierarchy. The existing doc/faq and
doc/handbook can then be removed.
The README file will be used to explain the current state of the DocBook
conversion process for the Handbook, so that people without easy access
to the CVS logs can keep track of what's going on, and lend a hand where
appropriate.
I plan to start converting the Handbook around 1830 BST.
