mod_rewrite - starting to break stuff
I've rewritten the intro to mod_rewrite at /docs/manual/rewrite/
index.html Please take a look at it and let me know what you think.
It's all new prose and removes the voodoo and sendmail comments, for
which I'll no doubt get some flak, but I maintain that they contribute
nothing to the documentation but fear and loathing.
I'm renaming the rewrite_foo.xml to foo.xml as discussed months and
months ago, to simplify the URLs. This may break stuff short term.
Should have it all fixed soon.
Need help: for some reason, intro.html.fr didn't rebuild. Can someone
look at what I broke?

Yes, I noticed that too and then forgot about it. Thanks for the
reminder. Mostly I've been horrified at how much *completely* wrong
stuff has been in the mod_rewrite docs for more than ten years.

Reading the introduction, under "RewriteRule basics", I wonder how it
distinguishes between the first two kinds of substitution, a filesystem
path or a web-path, since they have pretty much the same syntax. I
think this would be a good place for a hint about that.
