When I started working on this topic, I was wondering why not all files in ./technical and ./howto where converted to html. So I tried it myself and found out, that only minor changes where needed to get them processed by asciidoc. So from my perspective I was simply "fixing some asciidoc problems". But of course this wording was never meant to offend anybody. Sorry for that.

BTW1: As only the changes in the doc files where cherry-picked, currently on pu howto-index.sh
will create invalid links in howto-index.html because it scans all .txt-files in ./howto for 
'Content-type: text/asciidoc' and if found, creates a reference to a html file. But these are not created
for the new asciidoc files. So the changes in Documentation/Makefile which create html for the new  
files should be merged also.

BTW2: The 'pretty-print shell script in update-hook-example.txt' part of my changes was left out
from the merge to pu but should also be considered as belonging to the category 'convert plain text files to asciidoc'
as the original file contained a mixture of tabs and spaces which caused suboptimal indendation formatting
with asciidoc.
