diff DOCS/faq.html @ 6998:83a386e88f9e

Applied patch by Andras Mohari <mayday at varoshaza . nagyatad . hu> * Reduces the number of '!' chars... * Removes unnecessary spaces before ':' and '!' chars. * Changes the title of Appendix X to 'MPlayer skin format'. * Improves(?) wording in some cases. * Adds CODE tags around some options and filenames. Plus some further wording fixes by me, two dangling links and converted a few ASCII unordered lists into proper HTML ones.
