Cédric Duval 044fa1649f gendoc: fix localization of help topic
When a topic provides a callable method for its text, most likely
this text will be generated from different parts, so it does not
make sense to apply gettext on the whole result, rather the method
should provide translation by itself.

This is the case with the extensions topic, which triggers a double
gettext call, making the ASCII codec fail when it encounters 8 bit
characters, and prevents the documentation from being built.

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)
