  * Content handling (interface).
  *
  * The content functions manipulate struct contents, which correspond to URLs.
- *
- * Each content has a type. The type is used to call a specific implementation
- * of functions such as content_process_data().
- *
- * The source data fetched from the URL is placed in the source_data buffer as
- * it arrives.
- *
- * Contents have an associated set of users, which are informed by a callback
- * when the state of the content changes or something interesting happens.
- *
- * Depending on the type of content, there may be either one content structure
- * per URL which is shared among all users, or one per URL per user. For
- * example, CONTENT_JPEGs are shared, while there is one CONTENT_HTML per user
- * (because each instance of an HTML page may have different parameters such as
- * window width). This is controlled by no_share in ::handler_map.
- *
- * The status of a content follows a fixed order. Certain content functions
- * change the state, and each change of state results in a message to all users
- * of the content. The diagram below shows this:
- * \dot
- *   digraph status {
- *     node [shape=plaintext, fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=9];
- *     edge [fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=9];
- *
- *     content_create -> TYPE_UNKNOWN [style=bold];
- *     TYPE_UNKNOWN -> content_set_type [style=bold];
- *     content_set_type -> LOADING [label=MSG_LOADING, style=bold];
- *     content_set_type -> LOADING [label="MSG_NEWPTR\nMSG_LOADING"];
- *     content_set_type -> ERROR [label=MSG_ERROR];
- *     LOADING -> content_process_data [style=bold];
- *     content_process_data -> LOADING [style=bold];
- *     content_process_data -> ERROR [label=MSG_ERROR];
- *     LOADING -> content_convert [style=bold];
- *     content_convert -> READY [label=MSG_READY, style=bold];
- *     content_convert -> DONE [label="MSG_READY\nMSG_DONE", style=bold];
- *     content_convert -> ERROR [label=MSG_ERROR];
- *     READY -> READY [style=bold];
- *     READY -> DONE [label=MSG_DONE, style=bold];
- *     READY -> content_stop;
- *     content_stop -> DONE [label=MSG_DONE];

- *     TYPE_UNKNOWN [shape=ellipse];
- *     LOADING [shape=ellipse];

- *     DONE [shape=ellipse];

- * To implement a new content type, implement the following functions:
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_create(): called to initialise type-specific fields in the
- *   content structure. Optional.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_process_data(): called when some data arrives. Optional.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_convert(): called when data has finished arriving. The
- *   content needs to be converted for display. Must set the status to one of
- *   CONTENT_STATUS_READY or CONTENT_STATUS_DONE if no error occurs. Optional,
- *   but probably required for non-trivial types.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_reformat(): called when, for example, the window has been
- *   resized, and the content needs reformatting for the new size. Optional.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_destroy(): called when the content is being destroyed. Free all
- *   resources. Optional.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_redraw(): called to plot the content to screen.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_stop(): called when the user interrupts in status
- *   CONTENT_STATUS_READY. Must stop any processing and set the status to
- *   CONTENT_STATUS_DONE. Required iff the status can be CONTENT_STATUS_READY.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_open(): called when a window containing the content is
- *   opened. Probably only makes sense if no_share is set for the content type
- *   in handler_map. Optional.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_close(): called when the window containing the content is
- *   closed. Optional.
- *
- * - <i>type</i>_create(), <i>type</i>_process_data(), <i>type</i>_convert():
- *   if an error occurs, must broadcast CONTENT_MSG_ERROR and return false.
- *   Optionally use warn_user() for serious errors. The _destroy function will
- *   be called soon after.
- *
- * Each content structure is allocated using talloc, and all data related to a
- * content should be allocated as a child block of the content structure using
- * talloc. This will ensure that all memory used by a page is freed.
