Use <quote> instead of '"' if possible. Use <literal>,
<computeroutput>, etc. instead of <quote> if possible. Replace
<quote>alpha</quote> with a UTF-8 Greek alpha character.
BTW decorate ".link" with <filename class='extension'>.
Do not duplicate large paragraphs of texts.
Always use C locale if running in a Linux console. Create /etc/profile
for systemd too, but reading the locale setting from /etc/locale.conf.
- remove some useless --xinclude
- write only one option per line
- use --encode UTF-8 instead of --noent (which is useless after
profiling anyway
- try to be consistent in option order
- use --output instead of -o
If in a series of commands, and not the last, true has no effect
If in the last command, it is better to exit if there is a real
error in tidy, so use "|| test $$? -le 1", but only when tidy is
the last in a series of commands
Part of a patch by Boian Berberov
"gcc(1)" is really not a file name.
Use <ulink> and link to the online man page on
https://man.archlinux.org/ so the user can refer to the man pages more
easily.
The change is done via a sed command and long lines are wrapped
manually.
"Fatal error" is no longer outputted, but "Python requires OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer" is bad as well because it's not really "required" (at
least in BLFS definition).
libcpp is the preprocessor library, but it's a static library which is
only used by GCC itself and not installed.
libcc1 is actually a library for GDB to "compile" expressions, so we can
use fancy expressions in commands, like "print sin(x + 2.0)": the
expression sin(x + 2.0) needs to be "compiled" for evaluation.

The effect will not change, but with symlinks ld can save some time
invoking open(), read(), etc. syscalls and parsing the linker scripts.
Note that I've also removed "libcursesw" symlink because this library
has never existed. Instead libcurses.so is created as a symlink
direct to libncursesw.so.
instead of the 8-bit ncurses.
We don't provide the 8-bit ncurses library and we are "faking" it using
ncursesw. Thus innocent package may be compiled with the 8-bit ABI
(because it does not know what we are doing and so it does not use
the "expected" preprocessor definitions to enable the wide ABI) but
linked against ncursesw, causing a potential ABI mismatch.
- replace some characters by their utf-8 encoded equivalent (and change
encoding in the <?xml?> line
- replace 
 with a true newline char. This is somewhat more readable
anyway.
We don't use it and it uses ( for opening parenthesis.
I am not sure whether this has some reason or not, but
we want to get reed of &#xx; chars in our change to utf-8,
so easier to remove than to find out why...
In chapter 6, patch configure outputs:
libattr development library was not found or not usable.
GNU patch will be built without xattr support.
While this is normal in chapter 6 (building a temporary patch), we
should mention this dependency in the dependencies page.
The template named generate-basic-index in
{docbook-xsl}/xhtml/autoidx.xsl has a bug that generates a div element
with a wrong xmlns:xlink attribute. See
https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/issues/239.
Rather than fixing docbook-xsl, which would work only in LFS (but we
want to be able to render on other distros), copy the faulty template
to our customization files (lfs-index.xsl), so that this one is used.
We can also simplify it a lot since we don't need all the cases
covered in general docbook-xsl.
