Hey all,

I have written a new tool to maintain both an ASCII and an HTML version of
my faq. I tried many other tools but they just didn't fit my needs...

Advantages:

- written in (Unix) PERL
- free
- works pretty good and not just for FAQ lists
- not a very complicated program (only one parameter: -h)

Disadvantages:

- you'll have to reformat your faq source file to my format
- the source can definately be improved (but hey, it works!)

The program relies on 1 or more source files. They will be parsed and
output will be written to one or more output files, in ASCII or HTML
format.

You can download it from:

To see the source for my FAQ file, go to:

http://www.marillion.com/faq/source/marillion-faq.txt

And to see the FAQ after running it through jsp.pl:

I'd love to hear your comments!

Jeroen
