Server Side Include as default for the /manual directory....

    It appears that many of the documentation pages use a server-side
include directive to include the header and footer for the page.  But by
default, server-side includes are not turned on in the /manual
directory.  Should

    Options IncludesNoExec
    AddOutputFilter Includes html

be added to the /manual directory block?

Never mind; I just noticed that you'd included
the syntax for the first approach in the original
message.  :-)

+1 for adding the change.

Yes, and I think we also need to make a change to enable
the *.html files within that directory to be server-parsed:
either add the INCLUDES handler for *.html in that directory,
or install the relevant files with 755 permissions and rely
on XBitHack.  (I like the first of these two approaches
better.)

+1 as we already do this for error pages.  -- justin
