    Description

      Mozilla is not rendering the html docs for this project (just look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stdcxx/trunk/doc/stdlibug/1-1.html in Mozilla to see this). This is legitimate because the docs are being served from an SVN server, and all documents from such a server are supposed to have a mime-type of text/plain (i.e. instead of text/html).

      This makes viewing the docs not particularly useful (that is, unless you're using MS Exploder, which apparently has a BUG that ignores the mime-type of a document if it looks like html).

      However, there is a way to cure this problem and still serve the html docs from SVN (probably, anyway - don't know if it will actually work). That is to place the following "meta" tag in the "<head>" section of each of the html pages:

      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>

      Hopefully, SVN will not override this meta tag.
