<h2>Discoverer identifiers</h2>
<p>In past years, we used to add into the QM identifier an indication of who discovered it. This is no longer used.
<h3>QM identifier formats </h3>
<p>The format for question mark identifiers has changed over the years. We used to renumber all the QMs after expo, so a simple 200x-QMnn was unique. At some point, before 2015 when we started putting the QMs in survex files, the QM numbering was done per-cave rather than per-Expo.<br/>
e.g. <b>C1992-161-08</b> &raquo; the 8th QM in 1988 in cave 1623-161. Discovered by Expo: ("C")
<br/>
e.g. <b>234-2004-24B</b> &raquo; the 24th QM in 2004 in cave 1623-234, grade B.
<p>
Currently we use the survex block name, the name of the *begin/*end section, as the thing to make QMs unique. We also show the year, the cave and the grade in all visible identifiers though these are not required for uniqueness.
A separate sequence of identifier numbers is used for each survex<em>file</em>: <br/>
e.g. <b>290-2018-1Ccoconu3</b> &raquo; The 1st QM, grade C, in survex-block 'coconutchamber3'<br/> which was surveyed in 2018 in cave 1623-290
<h4>Archaic: Last-century's notes about QMs in 161</h4>
If you look at <a href="/1623/161/lhr.htm">the html</a> [the cave description page], you will find mentions,
e.g. <a href="/1623/161/lhr.htm#qC1992-161-08">C1992-161-08</a> of QMs in the context of the passage description with a link to <a href="/1623/161/qmtodo.htm#C1992-161-08">the 161 QM list page</a>. A link to the nearest survey station (without
its "&lt;cavenumber&gt;." prefix) is included in an html comment for almost all
leads.</p>

cave description file to the HTML QM list file (generated by a perl script for caves 204, 234 and 258) [see
<a href="../troggle/scriptsqms.html">QM scripts</a>], and a link from the list to the relevant point in the
description. If there is no link, it means that we can't yet work out where the
