+Handling the rsync SGML documentation
+
+rsync documentation is now primarily in Docbook format. Docbook is an
+SGML/XML documentation format that is becoming standard on free
+operating systems. It's also used for Samba documentation.
+
+The SGML files are source code that can be translated into various
+useful output formats, primarily PDF, HTML, Postscript and plain text.
+
+To do this transformation on Debian, you should install the
+docbook-utils package. Having done that, you can say
+
+ docbook2pdf rsync.sgml
+
+and so on.
+
+On other systems you probably need James Clark's "sp" and "JadeTeX"
+packages. Work it out for yourself and send a note to the mailing
+list.
