Michael Hanke 05d1af4a10 Move windows-wit box content into dedicated file
The main goal is to trim the diff to the print version again, where
content was moved and taken out of containers. This makes merged
conflict-ladden and painful. With this approach, any content change
would happen in the dedicated file, which can be used for boxes
and sections alike. Associated index items must stay outside,
because they are declared on the container.

This changeset is complete, the rest will happen in the print-version
branch.

Heredocs rely on Unix-type redirection and multi-line commands -- which is not supported on most native Windows terminals or the Anaconda prompt on Windows.
If you are using an Anaconda prompt or a Windows terminal other than Git Bash, instead of executing heredocs, please open up an editor and paste and save the text into it.
The relevant text in the snippet below would be:
.. code-block:: text
One can create a new dataset with 'datalad create [--description] PATH'.
The dataset is created empty
If you are using Git Bash, however, here docs will work just fine.
