As I started to think about actually editing the FAQ I came to my
senses and realized that I was completely missing the point of my own
Markup library with that \faq{\question{...}\answer{...}} nonsense.
So I wrote some code to dump the file out in a more normal Markup
form, taking advantage of the support for Emacs outline mode, etc.
The new source file is at the usual place:
<http://www.lispniks.com/faq/faq.txt>
and the HTML at:
<http://www.lispniks.com/faq/faq.html>
Anyone, who's got questions and answers in the old form should send
them along; I'll deal with converting them. But for future the format
is much simpler:
*** Question text here, all one one line.
Answer here using Markup conventions such as:
blockquotes indented two spaces
And
(code examples indented four spaces)
And \i{internal markup} like \b{this}
This makes the file much easier to edit and will hopefully enable me
to get to work actually, you know, editing.
