[pmwiki-users] FAQ Page Layout

Just ran across this FAQ page:

   http://code.google.com/faq.html

Like the Firefox FAQ, it uses list markup at the top that links to
answers below, where the questions are bold and the answers have
left-margin.

The designers of that page are probably PhDs with emphasis in UI design. :-)

Here's another one:

   http://www.w3.org/DOM/faq.html

Notice a pattern?  This one uses a return-to-top link after each question.

Here's a(n) FAQ page with *lots* of questions -- probably too many.

   http://www.tux.org/lkml/#QI

Based on these and other effective FAQ pages, I think answers should
be indented -- that is, have some margin on the left.

All three of these examples use bold text for the questions, but I
still would prefer to see the font weight normal and use some other
styling to set the questions apart.
