Is there a mechanism for replacing the links to the posted version of
a document with ones to a native HTML version provided by the FAQ
maintainer in question ?
The plain ASCII and USENET versions of the Linux FAQ don't work well
when an attempt is made to turn things that look like URL's into
links, because I haven't included URLs of any of the FTP sites etc.
into the text. They're present in the HTML version, but the actual
text says something more human-readable, like "on sunsite.unc.edu in
/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO".
It's a shame to have people descending out of the full HTML areas of
the Web unnecessarily, because this reduces the system's functionality
so much.
Apart from that consideration, I like your server. It seems to be
less inclined than Tom Fine's to produce n different documents some of
which are very out of date.
Regards,
Ian.
