I wish I had noticed these files earlier!  The XML that is used for the 
already-existing documentation is much simpler than trying to recreate 
the tags used in the HTML source from the web pages.  Dave, you should 
have just told me to go there and change the 'passwd' submission to 
conform (to save you the trouble of having to "translate" it ;)

I browsed through fink/web/xml quite a bit, since I'm really interested 
in learning more about XML.  But there's one thing I can't find, I would 
assume to be an important part: the DTD.  In an early revision of 
'faq.xml', I noticed that Christoph had been using one called 
"finkdoc.dtd", but I can't seem to find it.  It also appears that 
current documents do not point to a DTD.  Is there somewhere that the 
definitive list of elements and attributes used by the various 
documents, like a DTD or schema of some sort?  The XSL sheets might not 
include every possible tag, so I don't want to depend on those.

I'd like to write a simple doc about contributing FAQs, to solve the 
dilemma you mentioned above, and a simple template for FAQ submissions 
would be easier if I had a complete list of elements.


Thanks,
Erik

PS: I'm pretty inexperienced with CVS, as you can tell.
