Re: FAQ tree demo

Hi Joseph,

I've updated the FAQ database.

Also added your entry to the two trees by hand, to show how it will work.

Here is the work in progress one:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/tree/tree.htm

Try adding something to your file, and it will immediately change on this tree.

However, it links to your site on the tunings folder.

If anyone else wants to link to your entry, they need to link to the site url
instead.

This one has a copy of your entry in it (which in practice would be
ftpd by the program, but I just copied by hand to show how it would
work).
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/site_ex/tree.htm

Now if anyone wants to link to your entry, they navigate to
it in this tree, click Hide tree, and then use the url
they see.

That url won't change (I'm talking about when it is the real site
of course)

If you look at it, you will see that it ends
josephpehrson/19-tET_notation.htm

Here, josephpehrson is your folder on the tuning_faq web site, and
all your entries will go in there, wherever they are on the tree.

(Don't worry, I find it a bit mind boggling too, but the program
will have no trouble figuring it all out)

This means that if the keeper of the faq moves folders around and
changes the structure of the tree, all the urls will remain
as before, because the files themselves won't be moved.

So the interconnecting links between the various faqs will be kept
okay, and won't be broken by that.

Of course, since this tree uses a copy of your text, your entry in
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/site_ex/tree.htm
won't change immediately when you edit the original

In the actual working site, it will be refreshed next time the keeper
of the FAQ runs the refresh program to update the "on-site"
FAQ tree.

Thanks, Robert, for the "new" explanation of the FAQ tree process at:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/tree/tree.htm

Now the explanation is simple, so that ANYBODY can easily use it.
After all, we don't really need to know ALL the details in order to
use it... we can ask YOU as we go about it! It works great!

FINALLY, I understood the bit about IMPORTING using the "semicolon."
Frankly, that was something I couldn't understand AT ALL in your
earlier messages, so I just decided for the time being to "skip it" :)

Now the explanations are clear.

I see you included my silly little 19-tET notations example as a FAQ
test.... It works great. Of course, we will have more "elaborate"
entries for such when we all get working on it.

I am particularly impressed that you can included OTHER links to this
database as well as the text ones in the FILES sections... and I'm
impressed that you can turn the entire into a wonderful set of web
pages as WELL as the "sexy ascii."

You know, I REALLY like your web page tree. I like the feel of it
and
the navigation. It's SO MODERN, such a WONDERFUL way to organize
information (Sorry Jon Szanto if too many CAPS!)

Your reorganization of the database seems sensible, too. There was
really no reason for the date... it just made things more complicated.

I'll go so far as to say this is the best method for organizing
information I HAVE EVER SEEN... (sorry, again Jon)

Thanks again for this terrific work!!!!!
