The title comes to mind.. but something with a bit more meaning
would be better. Well, how about using the group statement to mark
up special semantics of HTML text? You could have
<GROUP role="keywords">
<H2> Keywords: </H2>
compression, encryption
</GROUP>
in the header, or at multiple positions in the text:
Now let us talk about <GROUP role="keywords">encoding</GROUP>.
In my humble opinion, extracting these groups is something that should
be done on the server side, e.g. via a CGI script. All the archie software
has to do is call up that script. I'm working on this anyway, it could be
included with the server distribution. Also, please remember that names
can be remapped to other locations then their physical paths - file tree
walking will not do.
Have a good one,
Chris
