Various fixes and updates

Make lines beginning (in markdown files) 'BTW' bold. Rebuilt the
respective html pages.

Slight update to abstract in two entries (1985/shapiro and
1994/shapiro). One is changing 'defines' to '#defines' and the other was
a typo fix.

Fixed make gen_next: added missing new files.

Various fixes in next/register.html (typos and other things).
