>Lin wonders: if it's something any TW actually does
(documenting the code, that is), although I know I haven't, nor have
I met anyone who has.<
I learned to comment my HTML code after a developer tried to help me fix
a
problem and said, after taking a look at my sloppy code, "How do you
ever
FIND anything?" Good question. I had to ask her what she meant and she
showed me how to clean it up. Now I know what programmers mean when they
talk about "documenting." It doesn't mean the same thing to
programmers as
it does to tech writers.
