[svn-r2007] Datasets.html
Groups.html Added note that object names (in Groups.html) or dataset names (in Datasets.html) must be unique. Changed 'boot block' to 'super block'. (Groups.html only) Files.html Minor formatting fixes. Datatypes.html H5Tconvert: Added plist_id parameter. References.html Deleted "not implemented" and related messages. Added description of H5Rget_object_type. Deleted all material about internal dataset region references. [Unlikely to be implemented (QK) and there was very little info.] Commented out references to H5R_BADTYPE. [This appeared in the list of "valid types", which it is not. And user is instructed to test for 'a negative value' rather than 'H5R_BADTYPE'. So this was deemed not to be user-level information.] Changed 'boot block' to 'super block'. Other minor editing changes.

<dd>A dataset is created by calling <code>H5Dcreate</code> with

property list created with <code>H5Pcreate()</code> and
initialized with the various functions described above.
<code>H5Dcreate()</code> returns a dataset handle for success
