Make use of the improved /help/CMD syntax everywhere, in place of the legacy /help?cmd=CMD syntax. file: [e2127ef872] check-in: [c64f28d26c] user: drh branch: trunk, size: 22216

Reworked the discussion of "fossil server" in the Quick Start to remove redundant discussion of "fossil ui" mode, previously covered. Moved some things up into that section as a result. The two modes are now treated independently, on purpose; the fact that they're implemented by a lot of shared code is an internal implementation detail, not something we need to make a point of in the Quick Start doc. file: [0f8f9d9e24] check-in: [6a2fee8fd4] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22202
02:24
Tooting SQLite's horn in the "you may safely Ctrl-C out of fossil ui" bit in the Quick Start. The truth of this claim is no accident. file: [13674fcc62] check-in: [9c07d8a3a5] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22470
02:16
Changed one of the just-added links to an external doc to a section further down, which _then_ links to that doc. file: [0171f146a2] check-in: [e6c4176cd3] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22277
02:12
Added a paragraph to allay fears about the "localhost bypasses the RBAC" fears the prior discussion of "fossil ui" may raise. This gives another chance to direct the user to "fossil server" and the rest of the /www/server/ docs. file: [49bdc8b4ed] check-in: [afb3db9200] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22279

01:32
Replaced repeated parenthetical explanations in the Quick Start doc with links to the glossary entry. No longer referencing the glossary directly; readers will click through one of these two new links and find it, or not. file: [04e7f5bca1] check-in: [ab7a22f533] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 21662

Attempt to improve the Quick Start guide with a small discussion of the purpose of a Fossil user as discussed in [forum:9dbd8e00ee|forum post 9dbd8e00ee]. file: [6181272466] check-in: [f5b9f0153b] user: andybradford branch: trunk, size: 21772
2025-03-30
11:18
Replaced the mention of "fossil branch new" in the Quick Start doc with a link to the section of the gitusers doc which explains why this is not the recommended way of working with Fossil. Both options remain documented, but now we bring Git expats to the place where many of their _other_ questions are most likely to be answered. file: [9d8dde026a] check-in: [f04b61f7e1] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 21286
11:08
Expanded the "Starting A New Project" section of the Quick Start doc to cover the next few common steps. Also updated the "fossil version" example above it to the current release version to keep the doc from looking *too* outdated. file: [1895b3975f] check-in: [4f42caee47] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 21497

Replaced many uses of blockquote in the quick start doc with pre, verbatim, etc., where all that was wanted was an indented block of text. These more semantic markup elements are now indented already. file: [e2130117b1] check-in: [d5de647aa5] user: wyoung branch: inskinerator-modern-backport, size: 20441
15:11
Removed redundant h1 tags in wiki docs, duplicating "title" elements that already display in the skin's header area. They take up vertical space without adding any new information. file: [74b85495fa] check-in: [2572e48b93] user: wyoung branch: inskinerator-modern-backport, size: 21508
2023-05-10
17:20
A prior edit to the quickstart doc left a vestigial version of the "Making and Committing Changes" section behind, resulting in duplicate information and a second h2 section with the same fragment ID. Some differences existed between the two presentations, so merged them rather than nuke the smaller (presumably older) one outright. file: [f2313633f4] check-in: [39beee4c9d] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 21551
17:02
In an effort to make www/* source documents read as cleanly as their rendered counterparts, replaced nearly all use of HTML "p" tags, relying instead on the Wiki and Markdown markup features to achieve the same appearance. The only uses remaining are:
  • in Markdown nested lists, where blank lines should render the list items as separate paragraphs just as at the list's top level; since it does not, if you want a line break, you either have to wrap the item in "p" tags or do the double-br hack.
  • in Wiki where blank lines within a list give you a separate list in the HTML output; this is fine for bullet lists, but with numbered lists it causes the numbering to restart unless you do the same sort of manual HTML workaround as with the prior item
  • in plain HTML docs and wiki docs between "nowiki" tags

In many places, this cleanup gets rid of pointless stray "p" tags, placating HTML verifiers. file: [c12e534903] check-in: [1fd407f61a] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22252

Extracted the glossary to a new document from the old "why use Fossil" doc, expanded it considerably, converted it from Wiki to Markdown, and updated the links to point to its new location. file: [deccf518d1] check-in: [a58d952fa6] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22663

Fix broken hyperlink at www/caps/index.md. Also substitute "most recent version" in the QuickStart with "checkout version" that seems more specific (checkout may very well correspond to a historic version). file: [2b77b6c56e] check-in: [68344d628c] user: george branch: trunk, size: 22041
