[svn-r2006] RM_H5D.html

	H5Dopen: Corrected description of 'loc_id' parameter.
RM_H5T.html
	H5Tset_strpad:
	    Corrected string padding values list (replaced 'H5T_STR_NULL &
	        H5T_STR_SPACE' with ''H5T_STR_NULLTERM, 'H5T_STR_NULLPAD, &
 	        H5T_STR_SPACEPAD'.
	    Added notes re conversion from shorter to longer strings and
	        from longer to shorter strings.
	    Other minor edits and formatting.
	H5Tget_class
	    Corrected H5T_ENUM and H5T_REFERENCE entries in class
	        identifiers table (they were reversed).
Tools.html
	h5dump: Added note that '-bb' option is not yet implemented.
	        Changed 'boot block' to 'super block'.

     <dd>Defines the storage mechanism for character strings.
 <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd>The method used to store character strings differs with the 
-        programming language: C usually null terminates strings while 
-        Fortran left-justifies and space-pads strings.

+        The method used to store character strings differs with the 
+        programming language: 
+        <ul>
+            <li>C usually null terminates strings while 
+            <li>Fortran left-justifies and space-pads strings.
+        </ul>
+        Valid string padding values, as passed in the parameter 
+        <code>strpad</code>, are as follows:
         <ul> <dl>
-            <dt>H5T_STR_NULL (<code>0</code>)

+        <p>
+        When converting from a longer string to a shorter string,
+        the behavior is as follows.
+        If the short string is <code>H5T_STR_NULLPAD</code> or 
+        <code>H5T_STR_SPACEPAD</code>, then the string is simply truncated. 
+        If the short string is <code>H5T_STR_NULLTERM</code>, it is
+        truncated and a null terminator is appended.  
+        <p>
+        When converting from a shorter string to a longer string,
+        the long string is padded on the end by appending nulls or spaces.
