Dimitrie, the actual HTML code is rather ugly in it's source
presentation, so don't hand-edit it :P Anyway, it's not meant to be
hand-edited, that's what sgml and docbook are for. The layout is exactly
what you already have, although with some small modifications to the
layout the dsl file can be alot simpler.

Good stuff. Looked over it, looks good. I don't particularly like
breaking the faq into different files, but that's minor.

The problem is of course that the .dsl files looks very...complicated :)
It raises the bar quite a bit as compared to the HTML markup, but if
people are so hot about SGML, so be it.

The dsl file is not meant to be changed often. But it's still there that you need to change stuff to change the translation of docbook tags to HTML tags. It could be simplified (read: we could use more docbook default elements), but it would change a bit the layout of the FAQ. See my comments in faq.dsl for the purpose of each element, and try removing some to see if the result is still "good".



Tony, you can begin the transition if Dimitrie likes it (and when you
have the time to).

I say we do this:
 1. incorporate whatever changes people see necessary in the next few days
 2. push the current HTML FAQ to WineHQ
 3. start the HTML->SGML conversion

With these in mind:
 -- if you have suggestions, complaints, etc. please voice them now

Actually, since it'll be converted from sgml to html, the layout complaints/improvements can come later: it will only minimally impact the sgml. I can (and probably will :) maintain the dsl file.

-- Jeremy, when can we get the FAQ on the site?
