&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I would prefer &quot;text&quot; to &quot;ascii&quot; on the grounds that the meaning is more
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Agreed. Translated documents may not be &quot;ascii&quot;, while it can still be
&gt; &gt; &quot;plain text&quot;. So &quot;text&quot; is more appropriate in that case.
&gt;
&gt; We seem to have a consensus on text rather than ascii, good.
&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; apparent to computer neophytes, without any corresponding loss of
&gt; &gt; &gt; precision. And, I would add &quot;HTML&quot;, yielding:
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; /
&gt; &gt; &gt; usr
&gt; &gt; &gt; share
&gt; &gt; &gt; HOWTO - the HOWTOs in HTML format goes here
&gt; &gt; &gt; text - same HOWTOS but as plain text
&gt; &gt; &gt; PDF - same HOWTOS but as PDF
&gt; &gt; &gt; PostScript
&gt; &gt; &gt; SGML
&gt; &gt; &gt; HTML
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Again, agreed.
&gt;
&gt; There is a slight problem with the last line, HTML. Originally
&gt; I had thought to keep HOWTOs in HTML format at the root of the
&gt; /usr/share/doc/HOWTO directory which is similar to the older
&gt; /usr/doc/HOWTO. Should we instead keep these
&gt; in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML ? In that case we would have to
&gt; leave pointers in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO as to where the various
&gt; parts have gone.
We could leave HTML in the HOWTO directory, I think. For more people,
HTML is the default. Or is that just me?
