-<Title>Building the documentation</Title>
-
-<Para>We use the DocBook DTD, which is widely used. Most shrink-wrapped
-distributions seem to be broken in one way or another; thanks to
-heroic efforts by Sven Panne and Manuel Chakravarty, we now support
-most of them, plus properly installed versions.

-<Title>Installing the DocBook tools from RPMs</Title>
-
-<Para>If you're using a system that can handle RedHat RPM packages,
-you can probably use the <ULink
-URL="http://sourceware.cygnus.com/docbook-tools/">Cygnus DocBook
-tools</ULink>, which is the most shrink-wrapped SGML suite that we
-could find. You need all the RPMs except for psgml (i.e.
-<Filename>docbook</Filename>, <Filename>jade</Filename>,
-<Filename>jadetex</Filename>, <Filename>sgmlcommon</Filename> and
-<Filename>stylesheets</Filename>). Note that most of these RPMs are
-architecture neutral, so are likely to be found in a
-<Filename>noarch</Filename> directory. The SuSE RPMs also work; the
-RedHat ones <Emphasis>don't</Emphasis> in RedHat 6.2 (7.0 and later
-should be OK), but they are easy to fix: just make a symlink from
-<Filename>/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/nwalsh-modular/lib/dblib.dsl</Filename>
-to <Filename>/usr/lib/sgml/lib/dblib.dsl</Filename>. </Para>

- <title>Installing DocBook on FreeBSD</title>
-
- <para>On FreeBSD systems, the easiest way to get DocBook up and
- running is to install it from the ports tree or a pre-compiled
- package (packages are available from your local FreeBSD mirror
- site).</para>
-
- <para>To use the ports tree, do this:
-<screen>
- $ cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj
- $ make install
-</screen>
- This installs the FreeBSD documentation project tools, which
- includes everything needed to format the GHC
- documentation.</para>

-
-<Para>It's a good idea to use Norman Walsh's <ULink
-URL="http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/doc/install.html">installation
-notes</ULink> as a guide. You should get version 3.1 of DocBook, and note
-that his file <Filename>test.sgm</Filename> won't work, as it needs version
-3.0. You should unpack Jade into <Filename>\Jade</Filename>, along with the
-entities, DocBook into <Filename>\docbook</Filename>, and the DocBook
-stylesheets into <Filename>\docbook\stylesheets</Filename> (so they actually
-end up in <Filename>\docbook\stylesheets\docbook</Filename>).

-your version of <Command>hyperref</Command> is out of date; download it from
-CTAN (<Filename>macros/latex/contrib/supported/hyperref</Filename>), and
