This patch fixes up the XHTML from the above commit, correcting the
nesting of the <p> and <pre> elements. It assume the above commit has
already been made. I hope it's ok, I patched my tree by hand from Phil's
mail, as cvs up didn't get the above commit, so the patch doesn't have
the full RCS header stuff, it should be applied against
docs/html/21_strings/howto.html

Also, I see that the XHTML headers aren't on the docs on the HEAD branch,
although they're on the online versions. I thought they'd been checked in
to CVS?

    <p>That's the theory.  Remember however that basic_string has additional
       type parameters, which take default arguments based on the character
       type (called CharT here):

    <p>But <code>char_traits</code> takes more work.  The char_traits
