As Fredrik pointed out, this is probably a FAQ item. Well, it's not specifically FA, but it is useful information, and anyone writing part-files should know about it. (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

I have read it. I don't think I took too much from Horst, most of my information came from Tore-sourced material. Anyway, I'm up to 1970 or so, so the early stuff is pretty much done. As for the rest, I _don't_ have much time to deal with it lately. (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.database)

| | Re: Namespace of FAQ-entry filenames
|
|
(...) Sure. Example 1: File "twitch.faq" contains the HREF ".../twitch#kneecap". The HREF is pointing to a name within the same file. The script would convert the HREF to "#kneecap". Example 2: File "scarface.faq" contains the HREF ".../boondoggle". (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) An alternative is to refer to the directory and the file specifically, leaving the slurper script to figure out if it should resolve the address or not (1). The drawback to this is, is that the author who wishes to link to another items has (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) If you make the filenames themselves unique, you'll end up in the long run encoding bastardized forms of the directory names into the filenames in order to keep the namespaces clean. No way to avoid that. :-( --Todd (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.faq)
