Muse documentation progress

Making the documentation for Muse is taking longer than I had anticipated. I don't want to bother the mailing list about this, so I'll blog about it instead.

The bulk of the documentation work is covering the publishing styles, and I have finished 4 out of the 8 total. Some of the styles may not be very thoroughly documented for the release, but they will be covered in future releases. Every publishing style, however, will have all of its options described and the (sub)styles that each of them offer will be enumerated.

I forgot to include the README file with Release Candidate 1, which is the result of forgetting to do tla add on the thing. At the moment, I'm not sure if I can fix that double-escaping of spaces in URLs on XEmacs bug in time for the release.

I'm tempted to do some obsessive sort of "cleaning" on the code, i.e. moving it to a new directory called `elisp' and detabifying all the source since I hate tabs. I should probably resist doing that, but since it's before the first release, I can probably get away with it. Mmmm, and having a separate Makefile for that elisp directory would be so nice ... .

I will have the house to myself on Saturday for most of the day, so I anticipate finishing the documentation work and making a release by the end of the day.
