        I must be odd then :), because I pull up both the HTML and the plain
text versions in my programmer's editor and just edit both at the same
time. Granted I do a lot of cut and pasting, but this way I get the
control over both versions and have then exactly the way I want them.

        I keep a pointer to the HTML FAQ in my sig, as well. That seems to
help folks find the FAQ easily.
