You can configure most editors to backspace up to, say, four spaces when you press backspace. That's what I do if possible.
Several things. First and foremost, the names are absolutely stupid. If I want to link someone to the void main FAQ, I have to go to faq.cprogramming.com, search the page for "void", and copy the link. Wiki links are much better named. somewikisite.com/cboard/Void_Main. (I know you could bookmark them, but I'm frequently on computers that are not my own, different computers each time, and that would just be a waste of time.)Originally Posted by zacs7
What's wrong with the current FAQ?
It's also lacking a few things that I type up every once in a while, like an explanation of p=realloc(p,...), sizeof without parentheses, passed arrays to functions degrading (sorry, Prelude) into pointers, Turbo C, timing with portable and platform-specific functions, how to figure out whether a function is ANSI standard or not, what to do on Linux when you get an error from leaving out -lm, etc, etc, etc. But, as you say:
I'm sure mods wouldn't have too much of a problem if you wrote something worth while of the current FAQ, and wasn't a waste of their time to add -- ie, stupid things like, "How to write Hello World by Elysia"
I know no one reads it. They do read it (some of the time), however, when we link to it. And how do we remember links like this? http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284376It's not like anyone reads the FAQ before posting anyway, why'd they bother to read a wiki?
Right, I'm not the first person to suggest it. (Syntax highlighting, on the other hand . . . .)That's my view on having it a part of the site, but seeing as you want it seperate -- I'm all for it. Since it's your fantabulous idea you should be the mod
Actually, I probably wouldn't be a good candidate for a mod. I'm not online frequently -- just a few hours straight every once in a while -- which is good for posting but not very good for moderating.
I'm just the head advocate! Right now at least.
