Tim Mayberry 56e384349b Add the ardour manual converted to docbook format with only a few minor
additions.

Add dbhelper.vim key stroke mappings I use for working with docbook source.

There are no xsl or css files for customizing the html output so it will 
look really boring...this will only be temporary.

Support for content localization and generation of pdf's is planned.

<title>Closing a Session</title>
<para>
Ardour only allows you to work on one session at a time (although
your computer may be able to run multiple instances of Ardour at one
time). This means that to work on a different session than the current
one, you will be forced to close the current session. You can either
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<menuchoice>
<guimenu>Session</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>Close</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice>
will close the current session.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<menuchoice>
<guimenu>Session</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>Open</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice>
will prompt you for the name of a session to work on, and will then close the current session.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<menuchoice>
<guimenu>Session</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>New</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice>
will open the New Session dialog
to collect configuration information for the new session, and will then
close the current session.
</para>

<para>
Whenever a session is closed but has been modified since last saved,
the Save dialog will appear.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="images/save_session_dialog.png"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>
You have three options when this dialog appears:
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Save the session before closing it
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Close the session without saving it
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Do not close the session
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<note>
<para>
If you choose the final option, whatever operation initiated the
closing of the session will be stopped. For example, if you were
loading a new session while working on an existing one, no new session
will be loaded.
