templates/files: narrow down scope of webhelpers.html.literal

In the 'Show Authors' functionality on a file of a repository, the following
construct:
h.literal(ungettext('..A..') % (..B..))

can be simplified. Here, literal was used to cater for explicit HTML tags in
the (..B..) part only. There is no need to apply literal on the '..A..'
part.

A better structure of this code is:
h.HTML(ungettext('..A..')) % h.literal(..B..)

Note that we still need to wrap the '..A..' part in webhelpers.html.HTML to
make sure the '%' operator will preserve the 'literal' property.

See also the documentation: (the text below for 'literal' also applies to
'HTML')
https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/webhelpers/en/latest/modules/html/builder.html
"
When literal is used in a mixed expression containing both literals and
ordinary strings, it tries hard to escape the strings and return a
literal. However, this depends on which value has “control” of the
expression. literal seems to be able to take control with all
combinations of the + operator, but with % and join it must be on the
left side of the expression. So these all work:

"A" + literal("B")
literal(", ").join(["A", literal("B")])
literal("%s %s") % (16, literal("kg"))

But these return an ordinary string which is prone to double-escaping later:

"\n".join([literal('<span class="foo">Foo!</span>'), literal('Bar!')])
"%s %s" % (literal("16"), literal("<em>kg</em>"))
"

===============
Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
