A Help Volume at a Glance

The following markup illustrates important elements of a help volume and the tags used to enter them. This example uses shorthand markup, which omits intermediate SGML structural tags and minimizes the number of required end tags. Indentation is used to highlight the hierarchical relationship of the elements; you don't need to indent the help files that you write.

All entity declarations go here (before any other markup).
