Description Sam Lawrance 2005-10-07 16:40:09 UTC

	I have a draft titled as per synopsis, and am looking for a doco
person to help me get the SGML up to scratch so I can finally finish the
bloody thing.

	Viewable here (plus some extra manually added highlighting):
		http://people.freebsd.org/~lawrance/contributing-ports/article.html

	And a shar of the source is here:

I don't like how many articles have their abstract closely following
the trademark notices with just a blank line between.  One possible fix
is to insert this just after the <abstract> start tag:

   <title>Abstract</title>

I haven't seen what this looks like yet.
