This change adds some how-to docs for the process of regenerating the element-name hash tables in the ElementName.java file — which is something you need to do when adding a new HTML element. The docs include steps and info on: - How to add new element constants - Which code sections to uncomment for regeneration - How to compile and run the code generator - Notes on Gecko vs Java-only builds - How to update the generated arrays - Technical details about the hash function and BST structure
