Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to comments

from Skip Montanaro. There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but
that is low priority.

Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

The list.sort() docs require a function that returns -1, 0 or +1. That's

never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!). Get
