Thank you for working on this. From a doc perspective, it appears that whitespace and content changes have been mixed, which makes the work of translators more difficult. The new XML source is largely unformatted, and should be wrapped at 70 columns. Please see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/book.html#writing-style-tag-style Rather than "FreeBSD", use the &os; entity. I did not look at the content much, but am willing if the first two problems can be fixed. Thanks!
