Example lines are in plain roman style.

|
|
<P>For various reasons this brand new release is codenamed
|
|
the <B>unleash</B> release.
|
|
<P>New code names will appear as per industry standard guidelines
|
|
to emphasize the state-of-the-art-ness of this document.

|
|
<P><EM>This Template is a suggestion and a starting point, a check list
|
|
for minimum features and also examples for authors.
|
|
Over time HOWTOs will outgrow any template since
|
|
in the end the goal is to inform readers efficiently.</EM>
|
|
<P>Stating the background is a simple way to getting started
|
|
writing the intro.
|
|
<P><EM>This is where you make a summary of what it news. When a HOWTO exceeds
|
|
20 pages it takes more than a casual read to find the updates. This is
|
|
where you help your readers with that, alerting them to specific and
|
|
important news.</EM>
|
|
<P>This is the first update featuring an improved structure.
|
|
<P><EM>Tell people where the document home page is so the very newest
|
|
release could be found in case of problems with the main
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/">Linux Documentation Project</A>
|
|
homepage.</EM>

<P>First of all we need a bit of legalese. Recent development shows it is
|
|
quite important.
