- Dear W3 Admin(s),
-
-
- Edition 2.2 of the DUMMY's is out now, and you might want to
- install it on your local systems; it fixes the "bugs" introduced by the
- many text rearragements introduced in version 2.0.
-
- This time the HTML version has been split for each node and thus
- get ready for some 300! .html pieces in the ".html.tar" file.
-
- More good news: Lionel Cons (CERN), and I bothered the Texinfo
- maintainer at Cygnus, Roland H. Pesch, and were successful (after
- Mr GNU himself, Richard Stallman, said he thought that our suggestions
- are "ok"), so, the next major release of Texinfo, will contain a
-
- @ifhtml .. @end ifhtml
-
- construct, to include "literal" HTML code in Texinfo documents;
- the acconpanying "texinfo.tex", "texi2html" script, and the
- "makeinfo-1.55.patch" file implement this change already; it's a very
- easy hack.
-
- * ONE FITS ALL!
-
- NOTE: the file "bdgtti-intro.html" was renamed to "bdgtti.html"
- due to PC "naming conventions"; the HTML version should now work on
- all WWW clients and the "patchN2Cello" is no longer needed
- ("pieces" are numbered bdg_###.html, bdg_foot.html, bdg_toc.html).
-
- I changed all the entry points in the SERVERS file accordingly;
- please tell me when the description in SERVERS is different from
- yours; moreoever note, that "bdgtti.html" as delivered is a *demo*;
- you *must* patch this file for your local needs, i.e., correct its
- URL defs!
-
- (Otherwise files that come with the distribution will be loaded from
- EUnet, Germany; which is probably NOT what you want.)
-
- However, the file is just a suggestion, you might use a completely
- different layout, and some of you do already; as long as the SERVERS
- file is intact, I don't worry about that, although if everybody would
- use a "bdgtti.html" entry point, it would help me a lot, so please consider
- using the intro file, and drop me a note in case your "link" changes
- its name, now.
-
- Thanks a lot folks! Have a nice day.

-
-
- p.s.: most of you have a "personal" html page, as e.g. "joke.html",
- in the "people" folder; I'd like to make the "patchN2WWW" script
- patching references to all these pages into the guide, in one of the next
- releases; so please, those who like this idea, send me the
- URL to your "personal" page!
