So this all seems good to me and makes sense to get in for 4.10.

It seems like the format should be able to support that? I'm no XML expert, but a quick experiment breaking the long lines in fieldseq_bt.svg didn't create any problems; white space is white space. Indeed, given the small number of images and the infrequency with which they change, perhaps that could just be done by hand? (In the process I learned that if you visit an SVG image in emacs, it actually renders and displays the image!) jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
