Re: [PHPDOC] Re: [PHP3] I want some feedback on what to do with the FAQ. From: Cynic (cynic <email protected>)

OTOH, win32 is usually less covered in this type of software
FAQ, and user has to look for a needle in a haystack. [:)]
A solution, though I think not a viable one would be more
generic questions with answers divided into two sections, one
for win32 users, one for unix users. This is impossible for
a large number of things that are in/belong to the FAQ, because
lots of the questions are system-specific. And crawling through
the large document to pick up the questions that are related to
your system isn't very comfortable.
