14a. About the Annotated FAQ

The annotated version of the ABMA/ABA faq was inspired by the PHP Manual.

Contributing notes

Use the form that appears at the bottom of each page to contribute tips, hints, clarification, or any other additional information pertaining to the topic of that page. By default, HTML tags are not allowed, with exceptions noted below the form.

• The <br> tag creates a line break. Use it to start a new line.
• The <p> tag creates a line space (ie, a double line break; a blank line in place of the <p> tag). Use it to start a new paragraph.
• The <li> tag creates a indented, bulleted list item. Use it to highlight lists.
• Use <b> and </b> around text you want to appear in boldface
• Use <i> and </i> around text you want to appear in italics
• Use <u> and </u> around text you want to appear underlined
• Use <pre> and </pre> around text you want to appear as you enter it (monospace, retains native line breaks)
• Use <code> and </code> around text you want to appear highlighted in monospace (such as commands to type, program output, etc)
• URLs will be automatically linked if you enter them in the following formats (ie don't bother trying to format links yourself):
  • <http://www.example.com> for web addresses
  • <ftp://ftp.example.com> for ftp addresses
  The http:// and ftp:// parts are required, as are the opening < and closing > characters.

In addition to the annotated version, a "plain" version (the entire faq as a single HTML document), and a "text" version (the entire faq as a single TEXT document) are available from the main menu.

Periodically, the user-contributed annotations will be reviewed and if deemed of general importance or usefulness, incorporated into the main version of the FAQ itself. The contributing user will be credited, of course, so please make sure to include a proper name/nick.
