With every hat I can fit on my head (wow, don't I look funny) I want to say we should do it in a similar fasion to how we do it in the doc project. Use things like: .Xr net/cvsup and render accordingly. Then we can parse the the MOVED file in the ports collection and boom. While it sounds much simpler than doing, I think it should be moved forward. :) > > > Perhaps this should be thrown at doceng? > > > Not needed; doceng is not for this sort of things and would like > such discussions to take place in doc@. Ok. I figured it was, or could be considered a doceng issue since it does have to deal with documentation. I'm more informed now, please carry on. :) > > > With my doceng@ hat on, Can I `borrow' that hat for about five minutes please? :) -- Tom Rhodes
