Martin Geisler 66070424fd restructure helptable
When looking up a help topic, the key is now only matched against the
short names for each topic, and not the header. So

  hg help 'Environment Variables'

must be replaced with

  hg help env

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)
