annotate DOCS/faq.html @ 5699:1dde9686d33b
Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest
installment of the ongoing show "Reworking the docs for fun and
profit". Your host Diego will be assisted by Nilmoni in presenting
you:
- spellchecking in all its glory
- a grammar to the envy of all native speakers
- answers now hopefully so clear that their respective questions shall
never be asked again
Somebody from the public raises his voice: "What about HTML errors?"
The host is quick to answer: "Yes, there have been corrections." From
the back of the auditory comes a subdued question: "And the FONT
tags..?" The room falls silent. There is no answer and the host
twitches. Finally the words "They have not been touched." escape from
his mouth, barely audible. A murmur erupts but the jury nods and
calms the crowd "Time to get back to serious hacking.". The host
leaves the stage under polite applause and everybody scuttles off for
their notebooks...
