Setext Information

This information is stored in setext format and converted on the fly to HTML (unless stated otherwise). This is used for a demo of the Plexus setext -> HTML converter.

Sample Setext Documents

Here are a few articles written by Tony Sanders in setext for Usenet postings. The hypertext links in these articles are valid for WWW (i.e., they contain valid URL's).
Usenet and Email Hypertext (24 Jun 1993)

Query about how we can track increasing WWW usage (see the raw text)
Why Setext? (1 Dec 1993)

Setext Documents

These are mostly by Ian Feldman <ianf@random.se>, and slightly edited by Tony Sanders to update the hyperlink format since the spec changed. Note that the hyperlinks in these documents don't work because they aren't valid URL's (they were just examples of how it might work, the sample documents above have valid hyperlinks if you want to play around with them).
