1.3. FAQ revision information

In the plaintext version, changes are shown by a vertical bar (|) placed in column 78 of the affected lines. To remove the vertical bars (use double quotes for MS-DOS):

     sed 's/  *|$//' sedfaq.txt > sedfaq2.txt

In the HTML version, vertical bars do not appear. New or altered portions of the FAQ are indicated by printing in dark blue type.

In the text version, words needing emphasis may be surrounded by the underscore '_' or the asterisk '*'. In the HTML version, these are changed to italics and boldface, respectively.
