looked at your pages -- very nice! and they just happen to
resemble our newbiedoc effort -- what a coincidence! :)
your *.txt rendering looks like it's intended for on-console
viewing, though -- some lleetttteerr--ddoouubblliinngg in
headings (which work as bold on a console display via less) and
u_n_d_e_r_s_c_o_r_i_n_g_ as well (for underlining) that don't
come across in an html browser.
also check out a more general debian-newbie-like faq startup (as
opposed to your debian-user faq, tho it may give you ideas):
