7dbde51f97 Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).

363d67c2e6 Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion).  Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.

859dc53a52 Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions
described in the sub-sections are directly available at the module
level.  He found this confusing.

d85b5a418a Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering
for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection
entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents.

This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
