Manual MarkDown backup of the original HTML 4.01 documentation #1
Conversation
The original documentation is disappearing from Internet, along with the author's website. This is the manual conversion of the original documentation from HTML to MarkDown, so it will be available in the future along with the utilities. The text has been manipulated so as to eliminate unnecessary external references and appear correctly on GitHub and similar.

@cryptorick then? Please, it's been a long time, can you merge the push request? |

@cryptorick are you alive? :'-) |

@LorenzoAncora lol yes! :) But I am confused. I only have a fork of a clone here (and I only made it to possibly make a PR to clone/xml2). I am not the author of xml2 nor have any other affiliation with it. I am like you, just someone on the internet who is trying to help. It's sad that Dan (the author) has seemed to drop off and removed the xml2 pages from his websites. I don't know what to do now. I could take your patches, but that would have the same effect as you just holding on to your patches yourself. Hmmm.... The only reason, it seems, to merge your patches here would be a little redundancy (in case one of us disappears or deletes our xml2 fork). Please let me know what you think. Thanks! (And sorry for the delay getting back to you.) |

With my disclaimer above, I merged your commits. Now we have two copies on github / the "intertubes." :) Still would like to know your thoughts, @LorenzoAncora, when you get a chance. Cheers! --Rick |

Hello Rick, my repository has the only purpose to agevolate your merge operation and it will disappear: while I have interest in keeping these utils alive, documentation should stay in one place to prevent discrepancies.
This repo is the best alternative and since you are not a very active user it has better possibilities to remain online longer. While you are not the original author, you have a well indexed repo (good SERP position) and users will find it easily.
TY, if you have other doubts feel free to ask.

Fix issue clone#1 by creating the missing documentation, because the Wayback Machine is not an ideal source of documentation...
This should be enough to keep these utilities alive for a long time.
