-><P
-> If you are not familiar with SGML, it is a markup language similar to HTML.
- Actually, not a mark up language per se, but a language used to define
- markup languages. In fact, HTML is an SGML application. Both will use
- <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"tags"</SPAN
-> to format text and other content. SGML tags can be much
- more varied, and flexible, but do much of the same kinds of things. The tags,
- or <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"elements"</SPAN
->, are definable in SGML. There is no set
- <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"standards"</SPAN
->. Since we are using
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Docbook</SPAN
->, our tags are those that are defined by
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Docbook</SPAN
->. Much of how the finish document is
- rendered is determined by the <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"stylesheets"</SPAN
->.
- The stylesheets determine how each tag gets translated to HTML, or other
- formats.</P
-><P
-> Tags in Docbook SGML need to be always <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"closed"</SPAN
->. If not, you
- will likely generate errors. Example: <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
-><title>My
- Title</title></TT

- strongly suggest using all lower case. This keeps compatibility with
- [Docbook] <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->XML</SPAN

-><P
-> Our documents use <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"

- <TT

->sect1</TT
->). The <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Docbook</SPAN

- will use these to also generate the Table of Contents for each doc. Our

- <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
->sect2</TT
->, and <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
->sect3</TT

- entries, but <TT

- a <TT

+ Much of how the finish document is rendered is determined by the <span class="QUOTE">"stylesheets"</span>. The
+ stylesheets determine how each tag gets translated to HTML, or other formats.</p>
+ <p>Tags in Docbook SGML need to be always <span class="QUOTE">"closed"</span>. If not, you will likely generate
+ errors. Example: <tt class="LITERAL"><title>My Title</title></tt>. They are also case-insensitive,
+ but we strongly suggest using all lower case. This keeps compatibility with [Docbook] <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">XML</span>.</p>
+ <p>Our documents use <span class="QUOTE">"sections"</span> for the most part. Sections will be processed into
+ HTML headers (e.g. <tt class="LITERAL">h1</tt> for <tt class="LITERAL">sect1</tt>). The <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Docbook</span> stylesheets will use these to also generate the Table of Contents for each doc. Our
+ TOC's are set to a depth of three. Meaning <tt class="LITERAL">sect1</tt>, <tt class="LITERAL">sect2</tt>, and
+ <tt class="LITERAL">sect3</tt> will have TOC entries, but <tt class="LITERAL">sect4</tt> will not. Each section
+ requires a <tt class="LITERAL"><title></tt> element, and at least one <tt class=
+ "LITERAL"><para></tt>. There is a limit of five section levels in Docbook, but generally three should be
+ sufficient for our purposes.</p>
+ <p>Some common elements that you likely will use:</p>
+ <table border="0">
+ <tbody>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><para></para></i></span>, paragraph delimiter.
+ Most text needs to be within paragraph elements (there are some exceptions).</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><emphasis></emphasis></i></span>, the
+ stylesheets make this italics.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><filename></filename></i></span>, files and
+ directories.</td>

+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><command></command></i></span>, command
+ examples.</td>

+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><literallayout></literallayout></i></span>, like
+ <tt class="LITERAL"><pre></tt>, more or less.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><itemizedlist></itemizedlist></i></span>, list
+ with bullets.</td>
+ </tr>

+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><screen></screen></i></span>, screen output,

+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS"><ulink url="example.com"></ulink></i></span>,
+ like HTML <tt class="LITERAL"><a></tt> tag.</td>

+ Style</a></h2>
+ <p>It will be easier if everyone follows a similar writing style. This just makes it easier to read what someone
+ else has written if it is all done in a similar fashion.</p>
+ <p>Here it is:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>All tags should be lower case.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Tags delimiting a <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">block</i></span> of text (even small blocks)
+ should be on their own line. Like:</p>
+ <p class="LITERALLAYOUT"> <para><br>
+ Some text goes here.<br>
+ </para></p>
+ <p>Tags marking individual words, or few words, should be in-line:</p>
+ <p class="LITERALLAYOUT">
+ Just to <emphasis>emphasize</emphasis>, some text goes here.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Tags should be nested and step indented for block text like: (except in-line tags)</p>
+ <p class="LITERALLAYOUT"> <para><br>
+ <itemizedlist><br>
+ <para><br>
+ <listitem><br>
+ Some text goes here in our list example.<br>
+
+ </listitem><br>
+ </para><br>
+ </itemizedlist><br>
+ </para></p>
+ <p>This makes it easier to find the text amongst the tags ;-)</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Use white space to separate logical divisions within a document, like between sections. Running everything
+ together consistently makes it harder to read and work on.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Do not hesitate to make comments. Comments can either use the <comment> element, or the <!--
+ --> style comment familiar from HTML. (Note in Docbook v4.x <comment> is replaced by
+ <remark>.)</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>We have an international audience. Refrain from slang, or English idiosyncrasies (too many to list :).
+ Humor also does not translate well sometimes.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Try to keep overall line lengths in source files to 80 characters or less for obvious reasons. This is not
+ always possible, with lengthy URLs for instance.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Our documents are available in differing formats. Right now, they are just plain text and/or HTML, but
+ others are always a future possibility. Be careful with URLs (<ulink>), and avoid this mistake:</p>
+ <p>My favorite site is <ulink url="http://example.com">here</ulink>.</p>
+ <p>This will render as <span class="QUOTE">"My favorite site is here"</span>, which is not real helpful in a
+ text doc. Better like this:</p>
+ <p>My favorite site is <ulink url="http://example.com">example.com</ulink>.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>All documents should be spell checked occasionally. <span class="APPLICATION">aspell</span> can check SGML
+ with the <tt class="LITERAL">-H</tt> option. (<span class="APPLICATION">ispell</span> I think too.)</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>

+ <div class="SECT2">
+ <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN203" id="AEN203">3.3. Privoxy Custom Entities</a></h2>
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> documentation is using a number of customized <span class=
+ "QUOTE">"entities"</span> to facilitate documentation maintenance.</p>
+ <p>We are using a set of <span class="QUOTE">"boilerplate"</span> files with generic text, that is used by
+ multiple docs. This way we can write something once, and use it repeatedly without having to re-write the same
+ content over and over again. If editing such a file, keep in mind that it should be <span class=
+ "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">generic</i></span>. That is the purpose; so it can be used in varying contexts
+ without additional modifications.</p>
+ <p>We are also using what <span class="APPLICATION">Docbook</span> calls <span class="QUOTE">"internal
+ entities"</span>. These are like variables in programming. Well, sort of. For instance, we have the <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">p-version</tt> entity that contains the current <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version
+ string. You are strongly encouraged to use these where possible. Some of these obviously require re-setting with
+ each release (done by the Makefile). A sampling of custom entities are listed below. See any of the main docs for
+ examples.</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Re- <span class="QUOTE">"boilerplate"</span> text entities are defined like:</p>
+ <p><tt class="LITERAL"><!entity supported SYSTEM "supported.sgml"></tt></p>
+ <p>In this example, the contents of the file, <tt class="FILENAME">supported.sgml</tt> is available for
+ inclusion anywhere in the doc. To make this happen, just reference the now defined entity: <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">&supported;</tt> (starts with an ampersand and ends with a semi-colon), and the contents will
+ be dumped into the finished doc at that point.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Commonly used <span class="QUOTE">"internal entities"</span>:</p>
+ <table border="0">
+ <tbody>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">p-version</i></span>: the <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version string, e.g. <span class="QUOTE">"3.0.27"</span>.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">p-status</i></span>: the project status, either
+ <span class="QUOTE">"alpha"</span>, <span class="QUOTE">"beta"</span>, or <span class=
+ "QUOTE">"stable"</span>.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">p-not-stable</i></span>: use to conditionally include
+ text in <span class="QUOTE">"not stable"</span> releases (e.g. <span class="QUOTE">"beta"</span>).</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">p-stable</i></span>: just the opposite.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">p-text</i></span>: this doc is only generated as

- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> version numbers consist of three numbers,
- separated by dots, like in X.Y.Z (e.g. 3.0.0), where:
- </P
-><P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> X, the version major, is rarely ever changed. It is increased by one if
- turning a development branch into stable substantially changes the functionality,
- user interface or configuration syntax. Majors 1 and 2 were
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Junkbuster</SPAN
->, and 3 will be the first stable
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> release.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
->
- Y, the version minor, represents the branch within the major version.
- At any point in time, there are two branches being maintained:
- The stable branch, with an even minor, say, 2N, in which no functionality is
- being added and only bug-fixes are made, and 2N+1, the development branch, in
- which the further development of <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> takes
- place.
- This enables us to turn the code upside down and inside out, while at the same time
- providing and maintaining a stable version.
- The minor is reset to zero (and one) when the major is incremented. When a development
- branch has matured to the point where it can be turned into stable, the old stable branch
- 2N is given up (i.e. no longer maintained), the former development branch 2N+1 becomes the
- new stable branch 2N+2, and a new development branch 2N+3 is opened.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Z, the point or sub version, represents a release of the software within a branch.
- It is therefore incremented immediately after each software release.
-
- The point version is reset to zero when the minor changes.
- </P
-><P
-> Stable branches work a little differently, since there should be
- little to no development happening in such branches. Remember,
- only bugfixes, which presumably should have had some testing
- before being committed. Stable branches will then have their
- version reported as <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
->0.0.0</TT
->, during that period
- between releases when changes are being added. This is to denote
- that this code is <SPAN
-CLASS="emphasis"
-><I
-CLASS="EMPHASIS"
->not for release</I
-></SPAN
->. Then
- as the release nears, the version is bumped according: e.g.
- <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
->3.0.1 -> 0.0.0 -> 3.0.2</TT
->.
- </P
-></LI
-></UL
-><P
-> In summary, the main Git trunk is the development branch where new
- features are being worked on for the next stable series. This should
- almost always be where the most activity takes place. There is always at
- least one stable branch from the trunk, e.g now it is
- <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
->3.0</TT
->, which is only used to release stable versions.
- Once the initial *.0 release of the stable branch has been done, then as a
- rule, only bugfixes that have had prior testing should be committed to
- the stable branch. Once there are enough bugfixes to justify a new
- release, the version of this branch is again incremented Example: 3.0.0
- -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2, etc are all stable releases from within the stable
- branch. 3.1.x is currently the main trunk, and where work on 3.2.x is
- taking place. If any questions, please post to the devel list
- <SPAN

-CLASS="EMPHASIS"

-></SPAN
-> committing to a stable branch!
- </P
-><P
-> Developers should remember too that if they commit a bugfix to the stable
- branch, this will more than likely require a separate submission to the
- main trunk, since these are separate development trees within Git. If you
- are working on both, then this would require at least two separate check
- outs (i.e main trunk, <SPAN
-CLASS="emphasis"

+ out of a powerful and flexible tool such as Privoxy.</p>
+ <p>While everybody is expected to be able to get a Privoxy default installation up and running, fine-tuning

+ <p>If you prefer the banners to be blocked by images, you must see to it that the HTML documents in which they
