+ 0.3 Typography
+ ==============
+
+Right now this document is written in plain ASCII text, and there's not
+much typography applied here. Future versions may move to something like
+HTML or DocBook, which have better ways theres.
+
+When giving examples for comands, shell prompts are used to show if the
+command should/can be issued as root, or if "normal" user privileges are
+sufficient. We use a "#" for root's shell prompt, and a "%" for users'
+shell prompt, assuming they use the C-shell or tcsh.
