More IE friendly diff output related templates. # HG changeset patch # User Edouard Gomez <ed.gomez@free.fr> # Node ID 6eee9b54c53c41643192c7920db642c984a00a21 # Parent 8b8f710bb65875d588044c3615cf42180aee23ff More IE friendly diff output related templates. I thought i could use CSS to render properly the diff blocks in IE. But i was obviously too optmistic and didn't realized that IE only renders preformated text for pre tag content... So i had to rollback some of my changes to accomodate to this IE bug/limitation. A diff blocks become pre tags, and diff lines become span again. Hopefully, the pages continue validating.

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 html hg.1.txt
