What if I'm a corrupt drug-taker who likes to fuck but who also bathes regularly?

...can occasionally be heard whimpering in the night--not unlike a cold, wet dog at the door.

I dunno about that... Not only is this an issue in Europe (where I live and buy the honey I eat), but they're also asking each other, "Eat any horseburgers lately?"

You have got to be kidding. That's true only in the sense that making the trip from Stockholm to Vladivostok via dogsled might be a "decent" mode of travel.

Aside from the fact that it's Just Plain Horrid(TM) to read or write in source format, TexInfo suffers from the same problem that HTML does: No semantics.

The reason that DocBook is so "verbose" is that it actually indicates what things are.

And knowing what things are can be very helpful.

(Did they ever figure out how to output *valid* HTML? */me recalls many hours spent looking out over acres and acres of crossed and mismatched tags, and weeping softly to himself...*)

Fuck me! Been using KDE since 2004 and I had NO idea you could do that. (Works with Konq in both KDE 3 and 4, BTW.)

Thanks for the tip!

Sorry, but the world works the way it works, and does not magickally conform itself to your views on How Things Should Be.

I don't like perl, either. ("Loathe" might not be too strong a term.) But neither am I foolish enough to believe that I am likely to wind up with a usable Linux or FreeBSD system if I try to set one of those up without it.

Hooray. Nice to see they finally got round to supporting Unicode. Structured docs. Woohoo. Multiple formatting backends. Yippee.

DocBook XML has had all these things from the beginning, and thus we (ubiquitous FOSS project) dumped TexInfo in favour of DBXML 6 or 7 years ago as the source format for all our end user docs.

I do not miss TexInfo one bit.

OMG, you've found the last website that still uses ColdFusion!

TFTFY

Good one. A classic.

See also Fredrik Pohl's The Cool War (1981).

Kernel Sanders is alive and well--here, go knock yourself out.

Come write for me, then, and let me retire a few years early.

This cannot be said loudly or often enough: A good editor is worth his weight in gold-pressed latinum.

As a working author who's had about 15 books published in the last decade or two, I'd like to offer you a bit of professional advice:

PARAGRAPH BREAKS.

Know them, love them, and FFS *use* them!

Thanks for posting something I actually had to look up.

lucrum cessans means a loss of expected gain/profit, as opposed to a loss of real goods or money already held.

IOW, it's the classic MAFIAA equation "profits not as high as we'd like = we've been robbed" that any reasoning person knows to be false.
