If your FAQ is in digest format, it has already been converted to HTML.
I automatically store all FAQs from news.answers in HTML. The top of
the FAQs is:

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/hypertext/faq/usenet/FAQ-List.html

Those in digest format get split into sub-documents based on the
Subject lines in the digest. Lot's of links are created automatcially.
For more information, look at:

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/hypertext/faq/usenet/technical-notes/faq.html
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/hypertext/faq/usenet/faq-format/top.html

The software is cumbersome and not for casual use. Maybe someday I'll
clean it up, but it doesn't seem likely to happen soon.
