yes. They are text files, with some customization function in it.
Using M4, there files are translated, with word substitution.
As esample, if I have the file:
index.m4
----------------
<h1> muLinux version VERSION </h1>
----------------------------------
it get expanded as:
index.html
----------------
<h1> muLinux version VERSION </h1>
----------------------------------
I release on the site a faq.tgz with these M4 sources.
The mantainer (we have no FAQ mantainer, of course) should edit this files,
without boring with HTML formatting.
I use largely this mechanism when create my little web page.
As different example, this is the mulinux.m4, used on the
mulinux site in DK:
================================================================
PAGE_START(muLinux version VERSION CODENAME)
PAGE(
{
include(menu.m4)
},{
H1(What is MuLinux)
text ... text
}
)
PAGE_END
================================================================
As You can see, I created a few macros in order to crate web page
on the fly, using the same layout.
