Update of /cvsroot/mplayer/main/DOCS
In directory mail:/var/tmp.root/cvs-serv29746
Modified Files:
encoding.html
Log Message:
Background now set by CSS, added doctype and charset.
Closed all tags properly and removed bogus <P> tags around block elements.
Manpage is really spelled man page and punctuation marks should not be
separated by a space from the word they follow.
