Dear All,
While re-reading the developer policy document, I fixed a few
grammar/punctuation errors. Unfortunately, I don't know how to
re-generate the HTML to verify that my fixes don't break the compile
from RST to HTML.
Can someone either review this patch or tell me how to generate the HTML
before I commit?
Thanks in advance,
-- John T.
