Some time ago, I created a new FAQ, which was meant primarily for
posting on USENET and hence the FAQ was ASCII.
However, there is ofcourse a certain interest in making it available for
a wider audience, so I'd like to have the FAQ in HTML format for web
publishing, or .PS or .PDF fomat if people want to print it.
At current, I maintain the FAQ in MS Word, and a set of Macros transform
it into ASCII format, add section breaks etc. This part works OK.
I thought that the same could be done to create HTML Files, although a
lot of work would go into writing the macro.
It was suggested to me to use SGML for the FAQ, and then subsequently a
set of conversion tools to create all the formats desired.
(For those on the FAQ-Maintainers list unfamiliar with SGML, check out
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/sgml-xml.html).
The SGML-FAQ-L mailing list seems to be quite dead, and even though I've
read through the archives, I've failed to find answers to my questions.
These are as follows:
Has anyone done this? I mean, does anyone maintain their FAQ in SGML
Format? (Is there a FAQ DTD?)
Are there SGML to HTML and SGML to ASCIII (etc.) converters out there
which can be easily used?
(And - last but not least) Do any of the necessary tools exist for
Win95?
Any pointers or help would be appreciated.
TIA
Morten.
