I usually send articles around for review in .txt format, that way
everyone can read them. After all the reviews are done, then I format it
into html (using Ddoc) and put up the web page.
The problems with sending around text files in non-text format attached
to postings are:
1) the discussions always seem to focus on how to read the files, rather
than their content
2) when the posting gets archived, the content of the non-text format
becomes inaccessible (it isn't searched by google, either)
That said, I think it's great you're working on a good article on
strings in D. It'll be very helpful.
