* Add a new document-specific variable, HAS_INDEX, to specify if a
given document is marked up with <indexterm> entries.
* Rework the index support so that both HAS_INDEX and GEN_INDEX are
checked before trying to generate an index for a document.
* Only create index.sgml if both HAS_INDEX and GEN_INDEX are set.
This allows us to recursively build the documentation tree with
GEN_INDEX=1 and have it only try to create an index (very time
consuming) for the few documents that are ready for this. Previously,
running "make GEN_INDEX=1" from the top of the doc tree would look for
index terms in every single document.
With this, I hope we can start building our docs with GEN_INDEX set on
freefall so that users browsing the HTML docs will get the benefit of
the index we've been hiding in CVS for 6 months.

share/sgml directories, create a public identifier for it and replace all
SYSTEM references to the file with PUBLIC references.
There was no repo-copy made of these files as there is no important
history to preserve.
This is a very unusual piece of documentation in that it is maintained
by an outside author who thinks he has a better home-grown
documentation management system than ours, so he now supports
DocBook/SGML as an "output" format to his own system. His output is
perfectly valid DocBook but the indentation is mostly non-existent,
and 'tidy -xml' breaks things.
Anyway, please send updates to this chapter directly to the submitter.

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.
The construct:
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>foobar</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>
is a pain to type, and messes up the pretty-printing of the source code.
Replace every occurence of a entry like that with:
&man.foobar.1;
Adjusting the manual page name and section number appropriately.
The definitions for these entities are stored in man-refs.ent. This
file is in doc/share/sgml because it is not just specific to the Handbook.
I expect the DocBook'd FAQ and Tutorials (coming RSN) to use them as
well.
A new PUBLIC identifier has been created for these entities, and added to
the catalog file.
<informalexample>

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

LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK_2. The merges are as follows (if a file isn't listed
here it's because there are no changes to merge since the

[1] Merged changes. Part of these changes are the migration of the
"Making a port" section from contrib/chapter.sgml to
ports/chapter.sgml
[2] Merged some changes. 1.18 demotes some of the section headings so
that the -stable section will appear on one HTML page. This is not
the case with the DocBook stylesheets we're using, so wasn't
necessary. For the time being, the -stable headings will follow
the -current headings. This can be revisited after the migration
is complete.
There will be one more merge pass once the Handbook in doc/handbook/ is
frozen, and then a pass to reformat (refill) most of the lines in the
Handbook so it's more aesthetically pleasing. The SGML parsers don't
care, but it makes it easier to follow the structure when editing the
documents.

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.
