This is a silly little program for generating the libc FAQ.
The input format is:
top boilerplate
^L
? section name (one line)
?? question...
...
{ID} answer...
...
^L
{ID} name <email@address>
...
which gets mapped to:
top boilerplate
^L
1. section 1...
1.1. q1.1
1.2. q1.2
...
^L
1. section 1...
1.1. q1.1
answer 1.1....
^L
Answers were provided by:
