This is a reasonable approach. If we're going to do a massive sed, my preference would be for Apache HTTPD and HTTPD, because the capitalisation avoids the confusion between httpd-the-server and httpd-the-command, and it's fewer words :-) Going that way also means you don't have to worry about including the short form in parentheses after the first reference - it's easy to intuit that "HTTPD" and "Apache HTTPD" mean the same thing, whereas it's less obvious what the connection is between "httpd" and "Apache HTTP Server". If we're going with Apache HTTP Server and httpd, I think it's important to *avoid* markup when we mean the webserver, and to (consistently, if we can!) *use* markup when we mean the command. Noirin, who's glad to have a use for her book-learnin' ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
