I have been playing with these today and what happens is:
1. a URL is entered like:
<a href="junk.html">grot</a>
2. it works
3. I edit the netry. The URL is displayed as:
%3ca href="junk.html"%3egrot%3c/a%3e
4. I add another URL. BOTH work!
5. I can add more URLs and delete old ones. All old URLs are displayed
in their internal representation, but they work.

I'll have a look at aplhahelix and come back to you.

Lesley did the FAQ from stuff I wrote. I suggest that between
you you come up with the minor revisions. :-)

Yes.

No, because I would like there to be a single copy of core
material. The new version of the glossary is designed to be extnsible,
with a core to which local glossaries can add. So if there are local
FAQs, I'd suggest that you write them and have a pointer to the core.
Remember that the core has to change if there are changes to the glossary :-)
