d0726c3cd9 \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to
weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.

Add an index entry.  More should probably be added as well.

8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.

1c8feae411 New method getnamespace.
Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation
used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them,
we provide this method.

f730fc3e4e Be a little more careful to avoid including style information in the
generated markup.

Don't be careless with the navigation icons!  We should use the blank
icon where there is not anyplace to go for a particular position in the
navigation bar.

3be2074758 Push some table header formatting to the style sheet; this also helps

b9b4c5b560 Centralize the processing logic for LaTeX documents into the mkhowto script;
do not use mkdvi.sh or mkhtl.sh any more.

This slows down building all versions of the documentation, but if you are
only building one format, it does not matter.
