Greetings, I have put together a set of xslt files (650 lines) that can be used with xsltproc to transform file docs/xml/FAQ.xml into the plain text version of that file. You will find these stylesheets in the attached tarball (11KB). There you'll also find file README.txt with more information. Jeroen. |

You've done a very nice job of preserving the layout in the FAQ.txt file. Thanks for the detailed documentation, too. Julian has been preparing 3.0.1 today. This probably won't get into that release, but it will definitely be in the next release. Thank you very much for your effort with this, it is much appreciated. Nick |

Oops! I accidentally deleted your email with comments, but IIRC they were: - programlisting does not get indented. They actually are indented, but with the same amount (sometimes zero) as the surrounding paragraphs. I have changed the stylesheet to indent screens and programlistings two additional spaces, which brings it more inline with the 'old' FAQ.txt. - Too many empty lines. This will require some tweaking and a little time, but I'm working on it. I'll send you a new version when it's done. Jeroen. PS: In topic 4.3 in the 'old' FAQ, indentation (one space) is used to suggest elements in a list of possible outputs. It would be appropriate to represent this list in the xml. A patch to achieve this is attached. |

Dinner brought inspiration, and I think you'll like the result (in the attached tarball). I also added a comment to README.txt about the possibility of specifying the desired output width on the command line. Jeroen. |

Thanks again for this, it is much appreciated. No more double maintenance of FAQ.txt and FAQ.xml :) Nick |
