I think 1 and 5 make the same point ... the actual text "Q:" and "A:" are
not rendered, but they may be used as the markup.
Unless someone else has a burning desire to do so, I will begin slashing
and burning on the current FAQ page. I will keep the current markup of "Q:"
and "A:" assuming that if the rendering changes, it will just work.
The only problem I foresee is the markup of multi-paragraph answers. As an
author, I would really like to be able to write this:
----
Q: How can I put more than one paragraph in an answer on the FAQ page?
A: There is no need to do anything special, just precede the answer with
the [=A:=] markup. In cases where there are multiple paragraphs in an
answer, the indentation continues until the next [=Q:=] markup.
PmWiki is clever enough to figure out that a subdivision heading should
also end an [=A:=] section.
-----
Having to prefix extra paragraphs with "->" makes the edit window very
cluttered. Not sure if the [=...=] is needed around the embedded "Q:"
items, but better safe than sorry.
