Gosh darn! I confused myself ... and of course now I'm in shame in
front of the world to see... when I first considered putting the
Sybase FAQ together I thought I would be able to use the HTML
numbering directive: <OL> but I remember now hitting the problem of
sections:

Section 1:
----------
1.1
1.2
1.3

Section 2:
----------

2.1
2.2
....

Anyway, what I do now is only add questions to my sections... heaven
forbid that I have to shuffle a section about.

I was thinking that one day HTML would offer the legal notation as
was stated above.

Folks, my apologies to all for my confusion... boy talk about being
humbled in public... *red faced*...
