Re: Bug#91892: Small problem with Layout of pdf documentation
I noticed funnu thing.
In PDF with <toc sect1>, any section with <sect2> is just bold without
indexing.
But in HTML, it put indexing. 10.5.13.1 etc. I do not care which way
but it will be niceif all work like PDF as much as pssible.

Also compact tag is same line as item but just with bold. That was
the major problem in install guide. Chris fixed it by changingg
them to
<list compact>
<item><strong>OLDTAG</strong>
<list compact>
<item>ITEM for OLD TAG with URL
or something similar. This folds lines well.
