How/When you'd use it
When you want to include last-update information in your FAQ pages.
Notes
Friday records the date and time you last created HTML for the full FAQ here:
[App]
LastDate=1/7/2003 9:24:47 PM
NEWTEXT=<strong>NEW!</strong>
Text specified for NewText will appear where the :newtext: placeholder appears in the main faq IF the edit date of the question is later than the last date HTML was generated.
You can use this to "flag" new entries to your FAQ if you like.
By editing LastDate, you can force Friday to treat all entries (or no entries) as new (but note that you'll have to edit it each time you generate HTML)
If you remove the NEWTEXT= entry in FRIDAY.FQA or make it blank, Friday will ignore it.
