One last thing. When I go to edit the chapter.xml content I see the
text wraped in notation. Is there a special term that this "notation"
is normally referred by?


Are you referring to the tags which comprise the XML markup?



Yes the "chapter.xml" files with content enclosed with <  >  like
  
Is this markup notation referred to as "tags" or is "markup notations" 
the correct way to reference them as a group?


Where are the intended usage meanings of all the different combinations

Now here is the really puzzling question. How would I write 
documentation about these xml markup notations showing the real xml

Here is what the xml markup notation code looks like;As

XML Markup comprises tags which are used to denote XML elements and 
attributes.

You need the DTD (document type definition) that is being used. The 
FreeBSD documentation uses the DocBook DTD.


If you've already installed the textproc/docbook-xml port, the DTD is 
part of it.

I think reading chapter 7 ("XML Primer"), 8 ("XHTML Markup") and 9 
("DocBook Markup") of the FDP-Primer should answer most of your questions.

Yeah, we are not just going to commit a patch that removes a bunch of useful
information and replaces it with nothing.

If you really want to see this seriously considered, please submit with
