Review documents cascading style sheet
There is no drastic changes in style, it will go unnoticed for the most part. Many inconsistencies in titles and headings were fixed in both books and articles. The large libX11 specs was used a reference. The border above each and every section was removed, keeping only level 2 headings. It alleviates the sense of "being lost". An additional step might be the section numbering. The body background and foreground colors are no longer set, which will not interfere with the user own styling. This should fix #37535. The figure-float was removed as it was specific for one figure and did not yield nice results. There is virtually no room for improvements with what docbook has to offer. All xorg docs were reviewed to ensure nothing got badly broken. A few changes in the doc source was made in libX11 and similar changes need to be done in the remaining xorg docs. They only affect minor spacing issues. Signed-off-by: Gaetan Nadon <memsize@videotron.ca>
