Tutorial auto colouring, Man page and Make fixes Completely fixes #1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and generally prettier. todo: - trap unmarked text as arguments in context - test & fix sed portability - see in particular. (so far tested on BSD (Mac) and GNU sed). - test Makefile changes - last round of aesthetic changes and getting that ascii fish in there… 2014-08-08 02:44:37 +00:00			`echo [OPTIONS] [STRING]`
