new version of uk tex faq on archive and web
by Robin Fairbairns 06 Aug '01

06 Aug '01

i have just installed a new version of the uk tex faq on ctan (help/uk-tex-faq) and on the web (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) i've mended a small number of bugs in the markup and translation to html, corrected and/or extended a few answers, and added answers to another small number of questions. note that question numbers have (again) changed, though no old questions have gone away this time. users are again urged to use the label= form of reference to questions, rather than the old question= form: label= references may be found at the end of every answer the web version of the faq returns.
