Johannes Stezenbach 2a7f0686c0 help: helptable is an ordered collection
The helptable is used for helptopics listed in the manual
page, so the order of topics should not be random.
Convert it from a dictionary into a tuple of tuples.
Also reorder helptable entries to keep previous manual
page order.

README Update asciidoc instructions to suggest html4 for newer versions 2007-08-01 14:32:05 -07:00

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html4 hg.1.txt

(older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
