tips on writing articles for sirfsup.com

  1. first tip : write plain text files

  2. second tip : minimize header and footer

  3. third tip : practice in http://www.sirfsup.com/user_pages first
    if you want to feel the procedure

first tip

The first tip is that you can write text files and not directly format into html. On the other hand, if you already have html files on hand, You can straight upload your html files if you want to.

To see a special shortcut which doing that enables (i.e. writing text files) you can use this file itself as a guide. To view the text source before it was turned into html markup, click the view source firefox link above this frame. This transformation is possible because the text is processed by a filter, HTML::TextToHTML. This changes certain text markup which you can learn quickly.

second tip


The headers and footers are all dynamic. On html pages, start just by typing whatever would come after the tag. The titles are generated dynamically from the 'description' of the directory listings, for example. Therefore, you can simply type the body of your example or upload your configuration or source file directly with a minimum of fuss. That's the blessing of server-side code (that, and <url:/unix/unix_editors/sed/application1:sed>, have made a large site like this manageable)
