Convert DSC documentation from docbooks to asciidoc Docbooks was very difficult for contributors to easily add updates. More time was spent fixing xml tags than writing the needed documentation. Asciidoc while very feature rich in its tag set is much much easier to learn.
Fixed external links and CSS stylesheet for the DCS docbook Cherry picking changes submitted to proposed/0.8.3 by Susan
In the following XML source files in /dcs/src/docbkx, I updated the external links (adding xlink:show="new") so that the links now open in a separate window from the DCS book:
In book.xml, I removed unnecessary and confusing links from the book's title and from the "Trafodion DCS" logo in the subtitle. I changed the link in the Abstract so that the word "Trafodion" links to the Trafodion wiki. I also added a missing period at the end of that paragraph. I removed the question mark (?) from the title "DCS" in the Overview section.
In preface.xml, I removed the link from "DCS version" to the "Connectivity Subsystem" section in the Trafodion wiki (given that the wiki content is subject to change, resulting in a broken link) and replaced it with a more appropriate cross-reference to the download site for the DCS package.
Per Arvind's advice, I updated the "Run modes" and "Example Configurations" sections in configuration.xml to include the alternate approach of specifying the host name and number of servers.
I also updated the freebsd_docbook.css stylesheet in /dcs/src/site/resources/css so that the DCS docbook automatically appears in sans serif typeface (such as Arial), improving its readability and look-and-feel.
(cherry picked from commit 4730742c501f5149fb453c9e7bfe5b4cc0e831c4)
Removed dos eol from freebsd_docbook.css as suggested by Susan.
