  Re: FAQ data format possibilities
 
Todd, I read your post just after I put up my own. Ships in the night. :-P (...) 'Kay, I hadn't thought of that. I like it; the only real drawback I can see to this is how to phrase the category titles; e.g. translating: (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: FAQ data format possibilities
 
(...) Whoops, I forgot to list <UL>/<OL>/<LI> and <DL>/<DT>/<DD> -- gotta have those! Now this is getting into nesting... :) There are some good Perl5 modules that already exist for doing all of this (the HTML->text conversion, not the FAQing). (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
 
  Format of FAQ items

  FAQ data format possibilities
 
(...) Separate files would make it even easier to parse. Also easier for editing, maintenance, and division of labor. Plenty simple to organize the individual translations using ISO 639 suffixes too, just like webpages, because then you can 'grep' (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: I'll volunteer for the LEGO FAQ
 
(...) :-{ <) :-) (...) I BC'd him in the post where I volunteered, so if that e-mail address is still being read, he'll see it too. (...) That works great for me. I won't be able to put a long-term commitment into the FAQ, just a few months or so. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: I'll volunteer for the LEGO FAQ

  Re: I'll volunteer for the LEGO FAQ
 
(...) Thanks for starting the ball rolling again, Greg! (...) That's what we need most right now. :) Anything you can do to help would be appreciated by all. But don't work in a cave. :) Stay in touch, rub shoulders, flood the group (this FAQ group) (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
 
  I'll volunteer for the LEGO FAQ
 
(...) Sure, I'm up for the challenge, at least to get it off the ground. I'm seriously psyched on this, I can put the time into it right now, and I think it'd be loads of fun. Also, I learned a lot about how to and how *not* to build one with the (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
