Subject:          How do I format an entry in the Lugnet FAQ?
Content-Language: en
Topic-Level:      1
Revision:         Jacob Sparre Andersen, 1999-05-06
Location:         /faq/
Reference:        http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.faq:83

<P>
The raw file format for an entry in the Lugnet FAQ is a
Usenet-like header, followed by an empty line and the
answer to the question formatted with HTML.
<P>
The following entries are allowed in the header
<PRE>
   Subject:          [the question]
   Content-Language: [ISO 639 language code]
   Topic-Level:      [integer, 0 is beginner/easy/simple]
   Revision:         [author, ISO date]
   Location:         [comma-separated list of Lugnet relative
                      URI's]
   Translated-From:  [ISO 639 language code]
   Translator:       [translator, ISO date]
   Originator:       [originator, ISO date]
   Comment:          [will be ignored]
   Include:          [relative (Unix) file name for another
                      FAQ entry - only header entries that
                      not already occur will be included]
   Reference:        [URL to the source of the answer]
</PRE>
<P>
The answer should be written so the following document is valid HTML (4.0):
<PRE>
  &lt;HTML Lang="%Content-Language%"&gt;
   &lt;Title&gt;%Subject% - The Lugnet FAQ&lt/Title&gt;

   &lt;H1&gt;%Subject%&lt/H1&gt;

   %Answer%
  &lt;/HTML&gt;
</PRE>
<P>
<Code>%Answer%</Code> refers to the HTML formatted content
following the headers, and <Code>%Content-Language%</Code>
and <Code>%Subject%</Code> refers to the text in those
headers.
<P>
PS: If you spell colour without "u", and organise with "z"
your language code is "en-US".
