Re: Help with creating examples

Clearly Pontus and Bill do not agree on the way to solve this ...

I'll wait a week for concensus about this in the mailing list.

If no concensus then, I'll create a separate website, which will link to
the main site whereever appropriate.

That way it is always possible to integrate the content of that site later
on in the main site and get rid of my own site ...
