Automatic numbering exists for a reason. It's more elegant and easy to
manage. Additionally, because numbering rules can be specified centrally,
it adds consistency to the final look of the documents. An editor shouldn't
have to think about the current numbering level or number. That should be
handled by asciidoc as it builds the final doc.
[ However, added explicit first number to make list source code look a
little better. ]
Also moved $VIMPERATOR_INIT keyword to its correct location in
starting.txt.
This change partially reverts changeset a1f264639f27d7d5b87e5fbccf54d6890a03ca7d.
Most of the special case asciidoc replacements were also removed since
they're a bit confusing and doing so results in a 60% improvement in the
time taken by asciidoc to process the help pages. Unfortunately, I'm
now limited to preparing a three course menu for my guests while it runs
rather than the degustation extravaganzas of the past but such is life.
It's still a bit of a mess but since we're almost certainly moving to
something else in the near future it's probably not worth cleaning it up
before 2.0 is released.
