2019-06-05docs: add more more code-tagsErik Faye-Lund1-12/+12
It's easier to read function-names, file-names and other "machine"-related strings if they are formatted in a monospace font. So let's mark these up with code-tags.

2019-05-08docs: drop h1 in headerErik Faye-Lund1-1/+1
It's generally frowned upon to have more than one H1 per document in HTML4. So let's put the text directly inside the header. This means we can drop the flex-based centering, which makes things a bit easier. We also need to change the padding to rem instead of em, because the em has now changed.

2013-07-25docs: Remove <em> obfuscation on public mailing list addresses.Kenneth Graunke1-3/+3
Wrapping every character of an email address in <em> looks bizarre, and makes it impossible to read the text. Apparently Brian did this in 2003 to try and obfuscate email addresses and avoid spam. Of course, mesa-*@lists.freedesktop.org are public mailing lists and trivial to find on the internet. So obfuscation buys us nothing (assuming the <em> technique even works at all, which I doubt).
