Frequently Asked Questions
Questions
1. General
1.1. How frequently are these questions asked?
Actually, no one has asked me a single question about my site. These should be called "Never Asked Questions" or "Questions I Frequently Ask Myself"...
1.2. What does the “happy dog” logo mean?
It means whatever you want. (And it's a seal, not a dog!)
It was drawn by my daughter (white on black achieved by scaping off parts of a black template). You can view the full size image.
2. Technical
2.1. What tools were used to develop the Web site?
Many tools, mainly open-source (and portable to different operating systems) including:
- forrest
- cocoon
- jedit
- latex
- XEP
2.2. Did you write the pages in HTML?
No. I did not author a single line of HTML.
All of the source code (what I actually typed with my fingers) was written in one of the following formats:
- XML
- txt
- LaTeX
2.3. So where did the HTML come from?
Forrest translates xml docs into HTML, CSS stylesheets and PDF automatically.
2.4. How did you do the “sitemap”?
To my delight, forrest did it for me.
