David Steele 475e7c692d Clean up dividers in the documentation.
Dividers were used in some files, but not others, and some had section names (which are hard to maintain) and others did not.

Try to make this more consistent by putting a divider on front of every section, variable block, and wherever else seems appropriate.

<title>General Builds</title>
<p>The <backrest/> documentation can output a variety of formats and target several platforms and <postgres/> versions.</p>
<p>This will build all documentation with defaults:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl
</code-block>
<p>The user guide can be built for <id>rhel</id> and <id>debian</id>. This will build the HTML user guide for RHEL:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel
</code-block>
<p>Documentation generation will build a cache of all executed statements and use the cache to build the documentation quickly if no executed statements have changed. This makes proofing text-only edits very fast, but sometimes it is useful to do a full build without using the cache:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel --no-cache
</code-block>
<p>Each <id>os-type</id> has a default container image that will be used as a base for creating hosts but it may be useful to change the image.</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=debian:9
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:7
</code-block>
<p>The following is a sample RHEL 7 configuration that can be used for building the documentation.</p>
<code-block type="bash">
# Install docker
sudo yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum install -y docker-ce
sudo systemctl start docker
# Install tools
sudo yum install -y git wget
# Install latex (for building PDF)
sudo yum install -y texlive texlive-titlesec texlive-sectsty texlive-framed texlive-epstopdf ghostscript
# Install Perl modules via CPAN that do not have packages
sudo yum install -y yum cpanminus
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
sudo cpanm install --force XML::Checker::Parser
# Add documentation test user
sudo groupadd test
sudo adduser -gtest -n testdoc
sudo usermod -aG docker testdoc

<section id="package">
<title>Building with Packages</title>
<p>A user-specified package can be used when building the documentation. Since the documentation exercises most <backrest/> functionality this is a great way to smoke-test packages.</p>
<p>The package must be located within the <backrest/> repo and the specified path should be relative to the repository base. <path>test/package</path> is a good default path to use.</p>
<p>Ubuntu 16.04:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=ubuntu:16.04 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest_2.08-0_amd64.deb
</code-block>
<p>RHEL 7:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:7 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
</code-block>
<p>RHEL 8:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:8 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
</code-block>
<p>Packages can be built with <file>test.pl</file> using the following configuration on top of the configuration given for building the documentation.</p>
<code-block type="bash">
# Install recent git
sudo yum remove -y git
