The output from ls Documentation/technical/[b-z]*.txt tells me
that this patch makes the TECH_DOCS cover everything (in other
words, this is not I was intereted in http-protocol.txt; I did not
bother checking if there are others that are not formatted.).
Which is good, but that is something you could have said at the very
beginning as the motivation (which cannot be read from the patch)
before going into details of what you did (which can be read in the
patch).
Also let's keep them in order and move the new line before the
index-format, as h comes before i.

The Negotiation Algorithm

The resulting _source_ file read as txt becomes somewhat harder to
read with these changes. Admittedly, it is mostly because the
original text was meant to be easy to read in TEXT, not to be
formatted via AsciiDoc into HTML. We can see that in many places in
the formatted output with your patch. For example:
- Strings like 200 OK, 304 Not Modified, HEAD are italicized
(Discovering References section); GET request is shown as
Roman body text. I think in our documentation it is customery to
typeset these as-is things in monospaced.
- dumb server reply:, smart server reply: (Smart Clients
section) are shown in monospace just like the actual protocol
message examples that follow them, but we would most likely want
to see them as part of the body text.
- As all the descriptions of steps in the Negotiation Algorithm are
indented, the AsciiDoc formatted result becomes just a series of
fixed-font blocks around there.
So,... I think this patch may be a good first step, but it needs to
be followed by another that cleans up the mark-up in order for the
resulting HTML to be truly usable.
Thanks.
