small doc markup cleanups


From: Ralf Wildenhues
Subject: small doc markup cleanups
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2006 00:27:34 +0200
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.11+cvs20060403

The html target in doc/Makefile.am currently uses texi2html.
I investigated a bit the HTML that 'makeinfo --html' from CVS
texinfo generates (makeinfo is also used by gendocs.sh) and
ran that through tidy.  (Some reports to texinfo are due to this.)

The following patch eliminates some of the warnings.  I'd like the
patch to be reviewed (not only but also) because I'm not sure about
all changes.  Esp. the @dvar changes cause changed capitalization in
the info output, although I think this is probably intended; the
expr `|' change looks better IMHO, but may be confusing as the two
parts aren't as stronly connected any more now.

What do you think?

I don't know whether we should keep the HTML generation with
texi2html in the tree now.  Probably a safe bet, so I'm inclined
to leave that as is for now (but still plan on building the online
docs with gendocs, thus makeinfo).

Cheers,
Ralf

        * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables):
        Drop extra @samp from address@hidden @samp' item.
        (Limitations of Usual Tools): Comment fix.
        Do not nest @samp just to point to other table items.
        (Writing testsuite.at) <AT_CHECK>: The second argument to
        address@hidden' is already @samp'ed.
        (Making testsuite Scripts) <AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR>: Likewise,
        do not use @var in the second argument.
