[PATCH] various doc patches

["Shatzer, Larry" <La...@Spirent.com>]

The following patch does the following:

1. Normalizes examples to all use same style for closing xml tags. No more
spaces before > or />, for consistency. (It also updates build.xml to
reflect this)

2. Fixes instances where > was used instead of > (Whipped up a quick perl
script to test for this, which can be provided)

3. At least one spot where </> was used instead of <tagname/>

4. One file had messed up line endings.

5. Updates Copyright to include 2002 if 2001 was the latest year.

6. A few spots where > was in the wrong spot (before the tag should have
been closed off)

7. Cleaned up at least one documents examples to use <pre>.

8. A few misc spots where HTML entities needed to be tweaked.

Things not addressed by this patch:

How should multi line tags closing /> or > be placed. That is a bit of a
holy war. ;) Same with spacing of name=values on multi-line.


Why this patch was done:

I find it nicer if all the examples follow a consistent style, and found a
few other things to fix while doing this.

Also, if some of this patch is too zealous, let me know, I can submit more
conservative patches for specific problems.

have actually been touched in 2002.

I'll dig through your patch sometime this week to ensure this is the
case (unless you can provide us with an updated patch in which case I
could commit it a lot faster 8-).

Thanks for the nice work, BTW.
