Here's a working sketch of the FAQ data format; the example is wrapped in
quasi-XML, to show the file's path.
Subject: [the question]
Content-Language: [ISO 639 language code]
Topic-Level: [integer, 0 is beginner/easy/simple]
Revision: [author, ISO date -- may repeat]
Location: [comma-separated list of Lugnet relative URI's]
Translated-From: [ISO 639 language code -- optional but hopedully used]
Translator: [translator, ISO date -- optional but hopefully used
anyway -- may repeat]
Include: [file to include -- optional -- may repeat]
Jacob, I nixed the Category header, since Todd can infer the category and
sub-categories by the file's location. However, can you see any reason to
allow this as an optional header?
Is there any reason to keep the Location header comma-separated, or should
there be one Location header per entry?
an e.g. FAQ item:
<FILE NAME="/faq/lugnet/market/auction/awareness/1.en.faq">
Subject: You mean I can get money for my old LEGO®?
Location: /market/auction/,/market/,/
Content-Language: en
Topic-Level: 0
Revision: Todd Lehman, 1996-02-19
<P>Yes, absolutely -- anything that says LEGO® on it.
<P>[quote snipped]
<P>Sell your old LEGO® and you will be rewarded. But don't sell
it to the first bloke who offers you $10 for it -- seek out the people
who seek what you have, and both of you are winners.
<P>A list of items Jeremy inserted for demonstration:
<UL>
<LI>Item one.
<LI>Item two.
<LI>Item five. (Three, sir!) Three.
</UL>
</FILE>

| Sproaticus: (...) Not really. (...) Both approaches are ok with me. (...) We need a (secondary) resource that translates the Lugnet relative URI's to (more) meaningful text. Aren't "/market/" and "/" implied when you write "/market/auction/"? (...) (...) (25 years ago, 27-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)
