Hi,
I'd like to suggest to put in the porter's handbook, bsd licenced alternatives
to commonly ported gnu-based dependencies.
For instance, to suggest the [radio] option of OPENSSL when the program calls
on GNUTLS. It would be great to optionally also have listed in the handbook,

Suggestion for adding (or similar) to FreeBSD Handbook: 5.6. The X Display
Manager ...
5.6.3 Xsetup_*
Here background image and xdm applications can be launched. To change the color
you can use "x11/xsetroot," but changing the image requires an application like
"x11/bgs".
Example:
#!/bin/sh

Most of this is formatted, but I'm having trouble with spacing and tabs. Then
my vim program stopped working correctly with tabs as two spaces as well, from
the suggested ~/.vimrc configuration. This may also need small edits to the
table of contents. This is better explained, and cleaned up.
A lot of configurations for Xorg moved to /usr/local/etc/X11/, which is a
better place, but it needs to be updated in the Handbook.
xdm, xorg.conf.d and xinit moved from their old locations to this directory.
Some old locations were /usr/local/lib/etc/X11/, and /etc/X11/.
These are the sections

This error has been fixed. It now points to /usr/local/etc/X11/xdm

I'm aware of FreeBSD's XSLT and DSSSL stylesheets, mentioned at
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/stylesheets.html,
but they should be used exclusively for its Docbook XML.
XSLT's stylesheet needs to be a part of automating of tabbing and stripping of
spacing outside
For spacing and presentation, FreeBSD documentation should rely on style sheets
for XML, not on txt tools. XML is made for stylesheets to take care of its
presentation. The requirement for improving documentation should be to learn
XML and Docbook schema, and not other heavy (text based) tools
The guide is here,
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ , it takes
downloading the documentation source code, adjusting your console editor for
tabs and spacing, and dealing with igor. Once you get that, submit it to
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/
I've proposed
Thank you for your response. The tools I'm referring to are igor and xmllint.
Mention of igor is here,
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/overview.html .
(the other link had the mistake of including the sentence punctuation)
Mention of xmllint is in chapter 7.2.

XML and Docbook aren't the problem. The problem is that Docbook should be
parsed according to stylesheets to take care of spacing to be converted to
.txt, xml and other relevant outputs. XML serves a purpose, and the current
tools for editing documentation are avoiding what XML was set to do,
I'm going to make fresh diffs to 5.6. The X Display Manager and 5.7. Desktop
Environments this week.
Also, once this is done, I hope the current 5.7 can become its own article.
