a489f40f78 docs: Make sure all elements that need it have an id tag.
When generating HTML it is useful if every element that can be referenced
has a stable id. If it doesn't a random one is generated which makes it
harder to link to parts of the manual on the website. It also generates
spurious diffs. Explicitly add an id tag for the sect2 and sect3 elements
in dh-manual, a unique id for each legalnotice element and for each
FAQ question and answer.

555ddc4753 Use DTD DocBook XML V4.5 everywhere.
This makes the rule for xmllint easier since it doesn't need to
override the DTD to validate against. It also helps with other tools
tryinf to process the docbookx xml files.

48152e7a48 Overhaul the BBV manual chapter, mostly. Also tweak BBV's usage message to
match the docs better.

ac7761261a We currently use a mix of <option> and <computeroutput> tags for command
line options.  This commit changes them to all <option>.

Also make consistent how options with multiple names (eg. -h --help) are
shown.

Also, remove section describing --help and --version in Callgrind's chapter;
these aren't necessary and are presumably a hangover from when Callgrind was
a separate tool.

78b2e5c83e Started overhauling the documentation:
- There were detailed descriptions of all the tools in the Quick Start
  Guide, the Manual introduction, and the start of each tool chapter.  To
  avoid duplication/overlap, I removed these altogether from the Quick Start
  Guide, and shortened them in the intro.

- Improved the description of what errors Memcheck can find.

- Made all tool chapters start with "Overview" section, for consistency.

- Made the "run with --tool=XXX" bit consistent in each tool chapter.

- Made all tool chapter titles match the description given when running them.

- Added BBV to the User Manual intro.

- Generally clarified, updated, and future-proofed various bits of text in
  the Quick Start Guide and User Manual introduction. 

Also:
- Changed Nulgrind's start-up description to "the minimal Valgrind tool".

- Fixed some punctuation in the usage message.

9101880b1f Update documents in preparation for 3.3.0, and restructure them
somewhat to move less relevant material out of the way to some extent.
The main changes are:

* Update date and version info

* Mention other tools in the quick-start guide

* Document --child-silent-after-fork

* Rearrange order of sections in the Valgrind Core chapter, to move
  advanced stuff (client requests) to the end, and compact stuff
  relevant to the majority of users towards the front

* Move MPI debugging stuff from the Core manual (a nonsensical place
  for it) to the Memcheck chapter

* Update the manual's introductory chapter a bit

* Connect up new tech docs summary page, and disconnect old and
  very out of date valgrind/memcheck tech docs

* Add section tags to the Cachegrind manual, to stop xsltproc
  complaining about their absence

b91b51b42b Merge (from 3.2 branch) r6743 (Edit the manual to bring it up to date
and make some of the wording a bit more professional sounding.)

e53a6fba14 The valgrind manpage is now auto-generated directly from the
*.xml docs.  No more groffly/nroffly editing.
How cool is docbook ?

c2aa0a5eea Post-release changes:
- removed a reference to cachegrind dot org from mc-tech-docs.xml
- in an effort to simplify future borked links, replaced all valgrind 
  website urls with entities so now we just have to change one string.
- new stylesheet to create the docs to 'fit' into the website
- added build rules 'make website-docs' + make download-docs
  to /docs/Makefile.am

2022dbf52c Due to package upgrades (docbook, passivetex), removed some
bug-patches and created some new ones in the stylesheets.
Also tweaked some files to structure the xml properly.
The FAQ and the Quick-Start are now 'articles' inside a book-wrapper,
which is as it should be.

FAQ.xml
- due to various passivetex bug fixes, the faq is now a properly 
  structured xml qandaset document

quick-start-guide.xml:
manual.xml
- Fixed some passivetex-workaround kludges:
  legalnotice -> author

manual-core.xml:
For readability, added '<command>' to varlistentry items 
since passivetex (sigh) will no longer indent the para text.

index.xml:
- loads of white-space readability tweaks here and there.

tech-docs.xml
dist-docs.xml
manual.xml
- additional entries to <bookinfo> for compatability with
  the rest of the docs.

/docs/Makefile.am
- added stuff to use the new vg-faq2txt.xsl stylesheet

/docs/lib/Makefile.am
- updated to reflect current contents of /docs/lib/
- removed refs to vg-html-single as is never ever used

/docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl
- massively updated to reflect losing old bugs and gaining new ones

/docs/lib/vg-common.xsl
- deleted as only contained two lines common to html and fo,
  so not worth the bother of hauling around

/docs/lib/vg-html-chunk.xsl
- added what was in vg-common.xsl

/docs/lib/line-wrap.xsl
/docs/lib/faq2text.xsl
- two new stylesheet files for transforming FAQ.xml to FAQ.txt

ff4eb2863e mc-tech-docs.xml:
- fixed link to comply with house-style
mc-manual.xml:
- rm'd unhelpful sentence + it's footnote
quick-start-guide.xml:
- fixed up some section ids + xreflabels 
  so we don't get cool filenames like 'bk01s02.html'.

c3187ad891 Added the Quick Start Guide, in XML. Not entirely happy with the formatting
(it should be all one page), but it's a start.
