plain text [faq] q: what is this directory? this directory contains code useful for web applications. q: is there a wiki here? no. but maybe a few tools which could be used to create a wiki. q: why is the faq a popular format? because it has overtones of the dialog, in a socratic sense q: what is the edit directory? this directory contains the beginnings of a text editor written in java. The editor is orientated towards saving on a ssh server via sftp. this is mainly because this is the only way to save to the source forge server. q: what are these strange codes with square brackets? these are a way to provide some structure in an unstructured text document. q: what does that mean? one way to provide structure is to use a very strict format such as xml. but this means the user has to think in heirarchical categories, which is hard and not creative. q: what kind of markup does the wiki system use? This is a plain text type of markup, which is minimalistic. This is supposed to be more pleasant than the standard wiki markup. both to read and to write. If you look at the text files you should see the style of markup. [/faq]
