| I am trying to keep up my reading of the docs from freeBSD-Stable, but I 
| have no idea how to turn the doc tree into a readable format.  I tried to 
| read the documentation project primer, but that didn't help too much.  If 
| someone could just send me the procedure to build and install the 
| documentation, I would be able to read all of it, and possibly 
| contribute.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/x182.html

To actually build the docs (render the different formats from the SGML):
cd <path to co'd doc>/en_US.ISO8859-1; make

You can specify specific formats with the FORMATS variable.

Perhaps the FDP is lacking on this; maybe making it more clear will be
your first patch? :-)

Good luck,

-pete
