* ref-manual: add usage NOTE to IMAGE_FSTYPESTrevor Woerner2013-12-031-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | Due to the way in which IMAGE_FSTYPES is processed, it is not possible to modify it using _append or _prepend. Therefore add a note to the manual to warn users in case they stumble on this issue.

* dev-manual, ref-manual: Updated some section titles.Scott Rifenbark2013-12-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that chapter 10 of the ref-manual still had "Reference: Features" as the title. This is left over from way back. I changed that chapter title to "Features." Next, I noticed an inconsistency with some sub-section titles. I changed the "Images" title into "Image Features." This affected several links across the doc set so I had to update those cross-references as well so they have the latest section title as part of the reference.

* ref-manual: Cleaned up some instances of the term "working directory"Scott Rifenbark2013-12-031-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This term should always reference a users current working directory and not be confused with the OpenEmbedded build system's "work directory (WORKDIR).

* ref-manual: Formatted "Caution" boxesScott Rifenbark2013-12-031-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The formatting for the "Caution" boxes was poor. There was no apparent reason in the style guide why these types of admonitions should appear any different than "Notes" or "Tips", which look fine. I could not devise a .css solution so I tricked the formatting by using the <title></title> tags in combination with a <note></note> pair. Basically dumped the <caution></caution> tag pair. It looks okay now. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
