Mention how to manually create /dev entries, since the suggested "Re-install
sets" option doesn't automatically do this (leaving the user without
/dev/console)
.Te adds an entry at a specified depth and also outputs the entry name
in the output stream, .To "only" adds the entry. .To is necessaary where
markup issues prevent the use of .Te.
all on page one and they add needless clutter. Additionally
doc2html doesn't output a tag for them, so we cannot link to them.
Lower indent level for Ss and Ss2
Add special HTML support: emit an HREF on each TOC line. There's some
nasty kludging with extending the dot-leader tab stop by the width
of the href, but that's life in mdoc2html.
TOCs need to be regenerated, but I'm not going to bother for a while.
This makes it _much_ more user-friendly, as it allows users
to skip to the parts they want easily.
At present, the TOCs are generated files, and can be regenerated
with "make tocs" (probably has to be run twice to account for
the size of the table itself).
TOCs are named INSTALL.{PostScript,ASCII,HTML,more}.toc instead of
INSTALL.{ps,txt,html,more}.toc because that's what \*[format]
expands to.
