Re: [DQSD-Users] FAQs
I made some more changes (sorry :/) to 'plain it down' some. What do you think about adding numbers to the questions? You could even have category#.question#. E.g., 1. General 1.1 How do I find out what searches... etc. BTW, is the HTML just a pain? I'm starting to think that just a simple plain text version of the FAQ would be easier to maintain/search/etc. for everyone. Thoughts?

RE: [DQSD-Users] FAQs
FWIW - If the html isnt a lot of trouble, I like the quick jumps to the answer when a question is clicked on. As the page gets fleshed out more and more, this capability will become increasingly useful.. IMO of course..

Re: [DQSD-Users] FAQs
I like the HTML better too, I think. I don't think we should start distributing the FAQ. This is *such an* internet-centric app, that 99% of the time folks shouldn't have any trouble going to the one and only FAQ at SF. You might take a look at http://notesbydave.com/toolbar/doc.htm and get some ideas for questions there. There's probably some stuff there that could be incorporated into it. There's probably some stuff there that is also out-of-date. You could even display some of the pictures by linking to Dave's site. I'd be curious to get Dave's thoughts on this. - Original Message - From: Glenn Carr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 1:20 PM Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] FAQs I like the HTML better too, I think.
