17 yes but is not selective; it applies to all files.

27 as pointed out by Karl is probably not CVS's fault.
28 But still I don't understand how you can put a file
29 containing a keyword in CVS without being substituted
30 and having another file in the same repository to which this
31 doesn't apply. All docs I read about CVS stated that they own
32 documentation used some forms of escape (ex: @asis{} in texinfo)
33 to avoid it in the examples. How is it solved in the skel ?
