Replaced nearly all explicit uses of the "blockquote" tag in the embedded docs:
  • Constructs like "<blockquote><pre>" are now simply "<pre>"
  • Ditto "<blockquote><b>" for command examples, which then allowed me to get rid of explicit "br" elements; pre does that for us.
  • Where it was used merely to get an indent for a code block, we're now using pre or verbatim instead, depending on whether we need embedded HTML and/or pre-wrap handling. (Not the same thing as the prior item.) In some places, this let us replace use of HTML-escaped code blocks in pre with verbatim equivalents, not needing the escaping, allownig the doc source to read more like the rendered HTML.
  • Use of blockquotes to get hierarchical indenting is no longer necessary; the skin does that. A good example is indenting ol and ul lists under the parent paragraph; additional manual indenting is no longer necessary.

The only remaining instances of "blockquote" under www/ are necessary:

  1. The copyright release doc is plain HTML, without the fossil-doc wrapper, giving it no access to the new skin improvements.
  2. One MD doc wants a blockquote in the middle of a list, and the current parsing rules don't let us use ">" there.
  3. The skinning docs talk about styling blockquote elements at one point; it isn't a use of the tag, it is a prose reference to it.

Removed table border overrides in the delta format doc, and replaced misuse of tables as layout tools with pre and verbatim. This is part of the branch only insofar as tables now have visual style, and these things interfere with the new style. ...

In an effort to make www/* source documents read as cleanly as their rendered counterparts, replaced nearly all use of HTML "p" tags, relying instead on the Wiki and Markdown markup features to achieve the same appearance. The only uses remaining are:
  • in Markdown nested lists, where blank lines should render the list items as separate paragraphs just as at the list's top level; since it does not, if you want a line break, you either have to wrap the item in "p" tags or do the double-br hack.
  • in Wiki where blank lines within a list give you a separate list in the HTML output; this is fine for bullet lists, but with numbered lists it causes the numbering to restart unless you do the same sort of manual HTML workaround as with the prior item
  • in plain HTML docs and wiki docs between "nowiki" tags

In many places, this cleanup gets rid of pointless stray "p" tags, placating HTML verifiers. ... (file: [32d45d6374] check-in: [1fd407f61a] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 11724)

Converted all uses of the obsolete named anchor feature from HTML before 4.0 to use fragment identifiers instead. (www/* subtree only.)

Where possible, changed constructs like

<a name="foo"></a><h3>
to
<h3 id="foo">

Also fixed a few cases where the link target came after a header so the browser would scroll the header off the screen when visiting the targeted section.

Added a 50em pad at the bottom of one such edited doc to allow the intra-doc link targets to be useful since it's a short enough doc that on sufficiently tall browser windows, scrolling isn't possible, so using those anchors has no visible effect. ...

Converted www/delta?.gif to Pikchr diagrams. They're mostly faithful to the originals, but there's a bug that needs fixing in Pikchr (or worked around somehow here) before this can be merged to trunk. My posting to the pikchr forum also needs to be edited to point to a historical version of www/delta6.gif to avoid creating a dangling hyperlink when this is merged down. ...
