+This is a silly little program for generating the libc FAQ.
+
+The input format is:
+top boilerplate
+^L
+? section name (one line)
+?? question...
+...
+{ID} answer...
+...
+^L
+{ID} name <email@address>
+...
+
+which gets mapped to:
+
+top boilerplate
+^L
+1. section 1...
+1.1. q1.1
+1.2. q1.2
+...
+^L
+1. section 1...

+1.1. q1.1
+
+answer 1.1....
