Applied patch by Andras Mohari <mayday@varoshaza.nagyatad.hu>, with some
small additions. * Replaced <UL> with <OL> where it made sense (to me :-)). * Moved "Developer Cries" into the appendix (as Appendix F) with s/Flame Wars/Developer Cries/ and s/In medias res/Developer Cries/. * Renamed "Appendix X" to "Appendix E". * Put a "Hint" inside <BLOCKQUOTE>. * Converted 3-pass encoding and mga_vid installation instructions to lists. * Converted options tables (video eq, SDL, fbdev, VESA, DXR3, TV input, DivX4Linux, AAlib) to <DL> lists. * The "sections" for MPsub and INSTALLING OSD are numbered and displayed in the TOC now. * Changed the text inside some <H4> tags. git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@7100 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2
