May be, we could set up an appendix for this? Or, set up a special paragraph at beginning of chapters (such as mysql) that holds old syntax. I would rather go for appendix, with links to new syntaxe. This way, it won't be into hands of beginner, while available for gurus. What you guys think? Damien Seguy.
