The Makefile now requires the rst2html and rst2man programs. Both can
be found in Debian testing or downloaded from the Docutils homepage:

The new HTML and man pages no longer contain huge amounts of
un-wrapping literal blocks, thanks to how snippets of reStructuredText
can easily be included inside other reStructuredText documents.
The HTML pages now have anchors for all sections, including the help
topics in hgrc.1 which were missing from the old HTML pages.
When we try to build manpages with xmlto and sed, but xmlto is
missing fail at the xmlto stage. Otherwise, one may run `cd doc;
make' and miss the warnings like:
xmlto: not found
sed: hg.1: No such file or directory
and end up with empty files installed as manpages.
This works around a bug in old docbook stylesheets.
Remove .*.swp example from hgignore.5.txt.
Diagnosis and workaround thanks to Alexis S. L. Carvalho.
gendoc.py is a script generating a part of the manpage (the commands
help and options) from the docstring in commands.py.
It avoids duplicating the doc between the doc/ directory and the docstrings.
To generate the manpage, 'make doc' will create all the necessary intermediate
files.
The latest asciidoc doesn't have an 'html' backend. 'html' was last valid
with version 6 ( 2005-1-28). Current options are xhtml11, or
html4, with xhtml11 by default.

Move hgrc documentation out to its own man page, hgrc(5).
The new man page expands on the existing documentation by describing
the file format and the purpose of each section and field.
