Guys,
When the navigation is a matter of creating a query and/or a hand-picked
outline, I really don't think it is THAT important to decide now. When
writing the tutorial I found it practical to keep the various
steps/documents together so I could better focus on what to write and
what was done.
p class=code/ ?
nope, code is an inline tag.
Ok, I'll settle for span class=code for now.
Anyway, I'm thinking that for this and the other issue
(anchors), for the moment we could simply make sure they are
not lost during the import, and then see afterwards to do
something about it.

but not always. For example, [2] starts a new thread although it is
obviously a reply to [3]. If it's easy to fix it might be
