Add the ardour manual converted to docbook format with only a few minor
additions. Add dbhelper.vim key stroke mappings I use for working with docbook source. There are no xsl or css files for customizing the html output so it will look really boring...this will only be temporary. Support for content localization and generation of pdf's is planned. git-svn-id: svn://localhost/ardour2/trunk@1405 d708f5d6-7413-0410-9779-e7cbd77b26cf

+ session folder or the session file. If you specify the folder, Ardour
+ will open the primary session file within the folder. If you specify a
+ session file (see <xref linkend="sn-snapshots"/>), Ardour will open
