Hi,

I've attached a patch which fixes a fairly large number of typos in
the current HTML documentation,
where current means http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite_docs_3_7_0.zip as of
14:40 today.

> mar...@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ ls -l sqlite_docs_3_7_0.zip
> -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 2919734 2010-07-25 14:40 sqlite_docs_3_7_0.zip

I haven't changed US spellings to UK spellings (eg "canceled" would be
"cancelled" here) but I
have tried to change things in the other direction where UK and US
versions of a word existed.

I haven't tried to fix up hyphenation ("reenable", "reengineer" etc)
as I suspect those agree with
US preferences even if they don't accord with UK preferences.

I tested the patch ("patch < sqlite-3.7.0-docs.patch") and it does
successfully apply the changes.

The process I used was:

1. Download and unzip sqlite_docs_3_7_0.zip
2. Check the files into a Mercurial repository
3. Run "html2text *.html | enchant -l | sort -u > errs1.txt"
4. Go through the files and correct the typos
5. Check the files into a Mercurial repository
6. Produce a patch with Mercurial
7. Test the patch
8. Submit the patch

I hope you find this patch useful and, assuming that you do, I hereby
state that:

"The author or authors of this code dedicate any and all copyright

We make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to
