Bug 48371

Summary: Small update to developers-handbook...
Product: Documentation Reporter: Sean Chittenden <seanc>

Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description Sean Chittenden freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2003-02-17 12:00:26 UTC 
	Few small bits in this:

	1) Update for the .emacs example to add highlighting of whitespace.

	2) Nuked whitespace that I noticed.

	3) Ran a spell checker over the doc and Americanized some very common
	American English words (intepreted -> interpreted,
	optimise -> optimize ).  Those words are seen frequently enough that
	non-American and non-Brittish folks may stumble over their non-
	American English spellings so I corrected them.

	Honestly, I'm only really interested in #1, but #2 and #3 kinda came
	for free during the update.  Any preferences on how I should commit
	this?  (#1 + #3), then #2?  ::shrug::

Fix: 

Complete patch here, but can easily be broken down for the sake of
keeping whitespace commits indepdent from content changes:

Looks fine, though I am not an emacs user.

Cool.

Good - thanks.

Exactly that.  Sorry, it can be a pain.

#2 should definitely be done in a separate commit.  #1 and #3 are
obviously unrelated to each other, so there... you need 3 commits :)
