The pages are generated with Mylyn's WikiText tools.  There is a file
like build-helper.xml in the .doc plugins that calls the WikiText ant
tasks to generate the HTML files.  We store a snapshot of the HTML in
git so that we do not rely on the wiki being up or the content being
sanitized at all times.

If there are issues with the generated HTML, bugs should be filed with
Mylyn WikiText:

Patches are always welcome :)
