The Utrecht WWW archive http://www.cs.ruu.nl/cgi-bin/faqwais
now has the information of the Url:-lines in the link pages
for the by-archive-name and by-news-group access methods.
Visitors of the news.answers-archive can select the reference
supplied by the author directly and need not go through our
quasi-html'ed version of the faq. The upgrade was motivated
by the increasing number of external references to the link
pages by sites like Infoseek and Yahoo.
The textual representation of the reference is the url itself,
but I think it is uninformative and looks silly.
It should be possible for the faq-author to supply this text.
So, as discussed earlier, I propose to allow url:-lines like
Url: http://some.site/some/file.html Latest
Url: http://some.site/some/file.html Author's home page
etc
where the text following the url ("Latest", "Author's home page")
is meant to be used for the representation of the link.
In technical terms, this proposal allows the translation
Url: <href="http://some.site/some/file.html">Latest</a>
Url: <href="http://some.site/some/file.html">Author's home page</a>
If there is no objection, could the moderators please change
the guidelines by extending the examples of url:-line usage ?
The Utrecht Archive supports the new feature as of now.
