Seems to work well for php.net. Well I think they call it "notes". On Jan 7, 2:31 pm, "Kjell Bublitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmmm... I have a problem with a "comment"-function. > > Comments encourage discussions - Discussions have nothing to do with > documentation. > > If theres a comment

Hmmm... I have a problem with a "comment"-function. Comments encourage discussions - Discussions have nothing to do with documentation. If theres a comment function it is almost as good as an invitation for beginners to ask right away, rather than to read on their own. We all know that well enou
