“FAQ” is short for “Frequently Asked Questions”. See Wikipedia:FAQ.

Where can I find help?
If not in this document, then you can find help in the wiki2xhtml forum. Furthermore there exists the Mailing List wiki2xhtml-users@lists.sourceforge.net[1]: Here your questions you sent to this address will be answered after you have signed up to it.
How can I help to improve that program?
You can test it for bugs and report them in the Bug-Tracker from sf.net. They will be fixed as fast as possible ;)
Certainly you can also suggest new Features!
In a listing text is cut away from the beginning of the line!
Probably you used a pipe character (“|”) in the line. Everything before this character is interpreted as arguments to format the listing entry. Simply put a | at the beginning of the text: * |That way the pipe character | is being displayed correctly. By the way: Validators like the Total Validator, wherefore you can get also a Firefox Extension, usually find such problems rapidly.
Instead of umlaut, the browser only displays squares.
The source files have to be written in UTF-8. Editors like Notepad++ can write UTF-8 coded text files, the Windows Notepad cannot! Under Unix, ASCII files can be converted to UTF-8 with the command: iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 input-file -o output-file
I can't execute the exported shell script.
If you're using Unix, you've got to make the script executable at first. Do that with the command chmod u+x script.sh.
What is new since the last version?
You can see that in the file «description.txt». Further information can be found in the news or the tracker at sf.net.
How can I stay informed about new versions of wiki2xhtml?
If you subscribe to the Mailing List wiki2xhtml-users (see above), you will recieve a mail as soon as a new version is released.
I'd like to alter a design or create a new one. How do I do that?
I will create a manual for that ;) The program uses several files; recks like the reck.html or image-template.html and css files for the design. Feel free to play around with them—if you destroy someting, there is still the original file on the server …
How can I insert PDF files?
Either as a usual link, for example [document.pdf], or as an image. Here you can also use a thumbnail: [[Image:document.pdf|thumb=document_thumb.png|PDF file]]
