Centered the Pikchrs in the rebaseharm doc, and replaced an HTML table with the MD equivalent. ... (file: [fdd2cef342] check-in: [9607f5b4e4] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22798)

Replaced use of the obsolete (because presentational) "center" tag in the docs with CSS equivalents. ... (file: [ee60c4c186] check-in: [4d21ec88ea] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22723)

Converted all uses of the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-name | obsolete] named anchor feature from HTML before 4.0 to use fragment identifiers instead. (<tt>www/*</tt> subtree only.) Where possible, changed constructs like <verbatim><a name="foo"></a><h3></verbatim> to <verbatim><h3 id="foo"></verbatim> Also fixed a few cases where the link target came after a header so the browser would scroll the header off the screen when visiting the targeted section. Added a 50em pad at the bottom of one such edited doc to allow the intra-doc link targets to be useful since it's a short enough doc that on sufficiently tall browser windows, scrolling isn't possible, so using those anchors has no visible effect. ...

Bring branch up-to-date with respect to trunk. Note: this check-in was made as an example to demonstrate merging. ... (file: [e0434b15d4] check-in: [bbc5264066] user: andygoth branch: modern-skin-markup-fixes, size: 23018)
21:33
Reworked section 5.0 of the rebaseharm doc to be less controversial. Charged words are quotes from the Git docs, not words we sling at it, etc. This also more clearly separates the "merge alternative" aspects of rebase from the history-mutating aspects. ...

First in a potential series of many changes to doc markup in this repo (especially to www/*) to work better with the Inskinerator project's Modern override. This one changes an explicit HTML table in www/rebaseharm.md to a Markdown table so our CSS can take full effect. ...

Attempt to use the feature added in [e32214a409] to extract the duplicate Pikchr code for diagram #4 in the rebase doc as a separate file, so we can refer to it twice via a Markdown image link instead. Doesn't work, but my next steps require a checkin I can reference. EDIT: Per forum feedback (https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/5c177b55b6) I'm abandoning this. ...

Removed point 4.0 from the rebaseharm doc: it said that rebase is a problem because Git makes the change immediately to the blockchain, but that's a problem with Git in general, due to its commit-then-push model, not a problem with rebase in particular. If Fossil had a rebase feature, there is no good reason to believe we would do this as well. Therefore, this point is a distraction from the main argument. Besides, we already cover it as fossil-v-git.wiki#testing. ... (file: [80ec8a81e5] check-in: [6e0dba257b] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 22877)

The rebaseharm.md doc referred to rebase04.svg *twice*, so while all SVGs associated with the doc were replaced, the second became a broken link when the SVG files were removed. Simply duplicating the code with comments to try to stave off version drift for now. ... (file: [997710d398] check-in: [a61ac66b63] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 23736)

Added section "7.0 Collapsing check-ins throws away valuable information" to rebaseharm.md, linked to from the previous throwaway comment about squashing a whole branch down to a single commit during rebase. This section explains an entire class of harms that come from rebase which wasn't previously covered. ... (file: [9b3f89e894] check-in: [c71fe99f9b] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 19875)
