(...) What about an outline format? I made a cool little utility that displays, in outline format, any sub-tree of the global ng tree...so from any category sub-homepage you can see what's there beneath it -- especially handy for things like loc (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) I like index.* over title.* too. (...) The funny thing to me is the strange and unpredictable sequence that things have been unfolding in. It's not that it's got a life of its own which is not under any of our control to choose the sequencing, (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Let me expand on this. It all depends on how it's converted into readable form. A one-file FAQ would certainly slurp everything in. An HTML conversion might take just the question titles to put up on the first page. Or maybe just the section's (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(Originally in another thread. I gave it its own thread to make finding it and building upon it easier.) Here's a working sketch of the FAQ data format; in quasi-XML, to separate the files. <FILE NAME="file: /faq/lugnet/market/a...1.en.faq"> Refer: (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) You've convinced me otherwise now. Mea culpa. :-, (...) I think it would take in the whole sub-FAQ. This is (currently) my strategy for giving localized names to the different categories. Someone looking for starter questions could probably (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
