https://bugs.freebsd.org/264113 was originally for documentation in the /13.1R/ area, however timely changes did not occur.

With the announcement of 13.2-RELEASE imminent: I have the go-ahead, from a member of the Primary Release Engineering Team, to prepare a patch for changes to files that landed yesterday with f065ede.

Without changing the referring texts, add references to two parts of the FreeBSD Handbook.
Add: 

:manual-site: https://man.freebsd.org/

Plan to use this in (English) <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.2R/readme/>, which already includes shared/en/urls.adoc.

(Corresponding changes for other locales – /shared/bn-bd/urls.adoc and so on – can wait until after 13.2-RELEASE is announced.)
Where 'hypertext manual pages gateway' appeared (visually) as a link, but was not a link: 

* modernise and simplify the wording in this section of the page
* create a working link.
The link to <https://www.freebsd.org/doc> was unusable. Fix this.

'FAQ(Frequently' lacked a space. Fix this.

More broadly: update and improve this section of the page.
'help-there' was wrongly hyphenated. Fix this. 

<https://www.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo> does not exist. Fix this, and the outdated mentions of Mailman. 

Remove the shouty box that tells everyone to not send subscription requests to the wrong addresses. This type of thing might be better placed in a book or article, although <https://lists.freebsd.org/> is clear enough for people to not make such mistakes. 

More broadly: update and improve this section of the page.

Fix a handful of errors, some of which were noted in last year's bug

Five commit message in underlying

Not intended to be comprehensive, given the timescale;
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D39480#898747
draws attention to the absence of rtw88(4) from hardware notes, and
so on.
