Faq-O-Matic Faq-O-Matic: Dumping the FAQ as one big text file

	Faq-O-Matic Faq-O-Matic : Administrators' Guide : Customize : How can I distribute copies of my FAQ? : Dumping the FAQ as one big text file
	Go to the Appearance menu and turn on the options for generating text output. Then [Show This Entire Category], just as in the previous example with HTML.
	Another technique (used before FOM had its own text output mode) is to grab the entire FAQ as HTML (Copying the FAQ as individual HTML files) using lynx, which will format it as text: lynx -dump 'http://myhost.org/cgi-bin/fom.pl?_recurse=1&file=1&simple=1' I also suggest turning on the Simple HTML appearance option, as reflected in the example. I got that URL by navigating in Netscape, then copying the URL to the command line. The output from this technique leaves a lot to be desired.
