Here are a few general guidelines that you should follow when writing a HOWTO:

<item>Try to use meaningful structure and organization, and write
clearly. Remember that many of the people reading HOWTOs do not

to format the HOWTO. This package allows us to produce HTML,
LaTeX (for DVI and PostScript), plain text and DocBook sgml from a
single source document, and was designed specifically for the
HOWTOs. This also gives all of the HOWTOs a uniform look. It is
very important that you format and review the output of the
formatting in PostScript, plain text and HTML.
<item>Make sure that all of the information is correct. I can't
stress this enough. When in doubt, speculate, but make it clear that
you're only guessing.
