Links like http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.socket.html
are changed to http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.socket.html#Accept=.
This implementation is quick & dirty, and misses various corner
cases. A fairly important one is that when a few directives share the
same anchor (which happens when multiple directives are described in
the same paragraph), generated links for everything except the first
one link to an invalid anchor. Another shortcoming is that the
formatting does not use the proper generateID machinery, so the anchor
name could be wrong in some cases. But it seems to work for a large
percentage of links, so seems to be an improvement in usability. When
the anchor is missing, we land at the top of the page, which is the
same as before. If the anchor were to point to different spot, this
would be more confusing... Not sure if that ever happens. Anyway, the
user should be able to recover from landing on the wrong place in the
page.
(Mostly) fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1956.
This scheme fixes permalinks to distinguish between items that would previously have the same ID attribute.
Where possible the generated ID values are the same as those generated with the previous versions of the stylesheet
to retain backwards compatibility with published links.
As a side effect of the changes xsltproc should no longer complain about duplicate IDs during build.
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.
Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.
In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.
By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.
The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.
Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.
Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
When manpages are displayed on a terminal, <literal>s are indistinguishable
from surrounding text. Add quotes everywhere, remove duplicate quotes,
and tweak a few lists for consistent formatting.

This should help readers of the man or HTML pages know if the documentation
is out of date. An alternative to use a date generated from 'git log' was
considered, but since we try to keep user visible documentation up to date,
showing the project version should be enough.
Since the HTML files are in different directories during build
and on fd.o, links are broken in the build directory. This could
be fixed by moving stuff around, or by modifying the files during
upload, but I think that people do not usually create HTML files
for local browsing, and this is not necessary.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
