(...) Off-the-wall question -- haven't thought about this -- just tossing it out: Would an 'exclude' also be useful in addition to 'include'? (Both are relatively easy to implement.) --Todd (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

Another header...? I want to be able to make context-specific notes on the FAQ items, which will not be exposed in the final output. I'm thinking of something like a Comment: header, which the parser will discard during processing. Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) You or I could start work on this before translations or FAQ subset extraction are implemented; the bulk of the work in snarfing a FAQ will be to copy the existing questions into their own files and start creating headers. Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
