I promised that I would fix the formatting of the FAQ after Ben fixed the markup. The diff is ready and can be downloaded from http://www.ruhr.de/home/nathan/FreeBSD/faq-diff.gz MD5 (faq-diff.gz) = 21ee0457524da69d9f417e1fba73d40e There's just one small problem: bash# cvs diff -u doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml | wc 18733 98512 815065 bash# wc doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml 11178 44894 458998 doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml In other words, two line of diffs for each line of the FAQ ;-( That's why I've uploaded a fixed version as: http://www.ruhr.de/home/nathan/FreeBSD/faq-formatted.gz MD5 (faq-formatted.gz) = 11e04f81f0543e2d897caa95c90a7d4c I've tested the diff by rebuilding the handbook and comparing the HTML outputs generated from the two versions. The most obvious changes are a couple additional empty paragraphs (<p></p>) caused by the all new style for <programlisting>. The size of the diff worried me. The main reason is the amount of TABs in revision 1.87. The FDP Primer demands spaces for indentation and my tool sticks to that rule. What's the general opinion about using TABs as a shortcut for indentation? /s/Udo -- Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains; a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
