diff DOCS/codecs.html @ 7047:4f87cd0f642f

Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Converted the docs to use proper headings tags. Headings start at <H1> for sections and decrease one size for each level in the section hierarchy, thus 2.3.4 is <H3>. Headings without numbering are <H4> unless they are in a <H5> section, then <H5> also.
