Since my needs where specific it does a bit more than a simple
conversion. The format it starts with is the Emacs outline format (Which
defines section titles with a "*" at the beginning of the line,
subsections with "**" and so on...). The outline format lets me sort the
sections alphabetically and I wanted something that could handle the
section numbering.
Given an outline file, it creates 4 files with the following extensions :
.faq A textfile with the *'s removed and all the sections numbered
.toc An idented table of contents that can then be pasted in the .faq
file (I found no way of automating this)
.html A HTML version of the text file with each URL transformed into a link
Each section title is tagged for hypertext access from the table of
contents.
.html.toc A HTML version of the table of contents with links to access
each section title. This file has to be inserted in the .html
file (there again I found no way of automating this)
I don't know if this thing can be of use to someone else... but if it is
I can post it here.
Fred.
