prompt: kill matchflags
Python already lets one to embed RE flags directly in a regex, which
is a much nicer way to do things:
(?iLmsux)
(One or more letters from the set "i", "L", "m", "s", "u", "x".)
...
matchflags was introduced in 67afecb8d6cc, and the record extension is the only
user. I've killed matchflag, and adjusted record code appropriately.
Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.
To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/
To generate the man page:
asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
xmlto man hg.1.xml
To display:
groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more
To create the html page (without stylesheets):
asciidoc -b html4 hg.1.txt
(older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
