I think for these, sed is usually all it takes. |

That being said, I really like the idea. It might take a little while |
13 |
to get the wording to look correct and flow properly (as in the first |
14 |
handbook or so using this might not flow the best), but I think that |
15 |
overall it will end up giving a better experience for our users. |

Of course, I'm also not going to request any such change. I definitely |
18 |
think that how the Handbook is done (especially at the underlying |
19 |
levels) is totally up to you guys. I'm just letting you know that I'd |
20 |
definitely support it. |
