From 468c879a9c3a30596cf5137d53bd222610b24b1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 16:00:00 -0700 Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-bsp-appendix.xml: Added footnote Per Tom Zanussi's suggestion, we added a footnote to the paragraph instructing the user on build problems for the example. I don't have clean fonts in the HTML version of the output. I am still working on figuring that out.
