DA DOCS. YO.
============
-The main file that contains the bulk of our documentation is docs.xml .
-We use the DocBook format, which is a really kickass xml-based way of
-writing documentation, heavily oriented towards programming and computer
-stuff. There are tags like <command> and <option> that marks up your
-content without actually having to mark it up, which is why something
-that's of the <command> shows up in some cool style regardless of
-whether it's in a man page or a web page. DocBook has been around for
-10 years, and there's TONS of resources online about the different
-tags and the stuff that can be done.

FILE ORGANIZATION
=================
-For the sake of making things readable and organized,
-docs.xml "includes" three other files, as of 8/18/05.
-These are config_settings.xml, command_options.xml, and variables.xml .
-Their names are pretty self-explanatory, and what the "include" essentially
-does is stick their contents into docs.xml at the appropriate locations
-when it's time to produce a man page or html file. So if you wanted to
-add a variable or explain a command line option better, you'd look in
-variables.xml and command_options.xml. If you wanted to change the authors
