Added document lines that name the default device drivers.

Also:
- Changed some <htmlurl> tags to <url>.  Now, those links will show their URL addresses (in addition to their names) in info and text pages.
- Added some Atmos-specific function names to its document.
- Fixed some punctuation syntax.
