This is also my philosophy. I've spent quite a bit of time trying
to make the plain text version of my FAQs convert nicely via Tom's
HTMLization programs. It's also nice for users of nn, [s]trn, and
gnus if the FAQ is in RFC1153 format. And RFC1153 also means that
users can use ``formail -ds'' to split the FAQ into separate messages.

If you're interested take a look at my Signature and Finger FAQ which
is referenced in this excerpt from it...

Subject: ... 0.5 Reading the Hypertext Version of This Article

The best way to read this FAQ (and most other FAQs too) is to view the
hypertext version using a Web browser such as Lynx, Mosaic, Netscape,
WinWeb, or Cello. This will allow you to easily jump:
* between subjects in this article
* to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
* to an Internet Request For Comments document (RFC)
* to some manual pages

This and all FAQs that are crossposted to news.answers can be accessed through:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/top.html

This particular FAQ is at:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/signature_finger_faq/faq.html

------------------------------

If you have any suggestions for improving the format of my FAQs let me know!

-Nancy
