+Inline Documentation
+====================
+Many of the functions available for modules to use are now documented
+with specially-formatted comments near their definitions.  These
+comments can be combined with the SGML templates in the
+Documentation/DocBook directory to make DocBook files, which can then
+be combined with DocBook stylesheets to make PostScript documents,
+HTML pages, PDF files, and so on.  In order to convert from DocBook
+format to a format of your choice, you'll need to install jade, as
