# faqs.dict -- a dictionary custom HTMLifying rules for txt2html's -l flag

# Override two rules from the default txt2html dictionary: we want "_foo_"
# to mean italicise foo (<EM> tag), not underline it (<U> tag). For this to
# work, this file must be fed to txt2html on the command line *before* the
# default dictionary.
#
# The regular expressions in the default dic were also bookended by \B tokens
# that caused them not to match on the book titles in the acronym faq. These were
# therefore removed from the overriding expressions below.

/_([a-z][a-z ]*[a-z])_/ -hi-> <em>$1</em>
/_(\w(\w|\s|\!|\?|,|;|\.|\-)*(\w|\.|\!|\?))_/ -hi-> <em>$1</em>
/_([a-z])_/ -hi-> <em>$1</em>


# Some FAQ maintainers write newsgroup names starting with capitals.
# I'd rather that didn't happen at all, but for now I'm adding this
# explicit rule that will cause txt2html to recognise such syntax
|([^\w\-/\.:\@>])(Alt\.[\w\.+\-]+[\w+\-]+)|    -h-> $1<a href="news:$2">$2</a>

# *Some* FAQ maintainers even write newsgroup names in all caps, for
# which I can't really blame them, because what else are you going to do
# in an all-caps title, but that doesn't change the fact that txt2html
# has no good way of dealing with this -- there is no way to specify
# that something should simply *not* be URL-ified at all. So for now, at
# least I am adding this rule to make it into a news: url instead of
# http, but it's all far from ideal.
|([^\w\-/\.:\@>])(ALT\.[\w\.+\-]+[\w+\-]+)|    -h-> $1<a href="news:$2">$2</a>

# Custom workaround for the fact that demon.ip.support has to be transformed
