  <!-- INSTALLATION AND RELEASE NOTES -->

  <h1>Installation and Release Notes</h1>

  <p>Unless you installed a binary version of wxWidgets (e.g. under Linux
     using your distro's package manager), you will probably have to
     <strong>compile</strong> the wxWidgets library before you can start use
     it.</p>
  <p>Please read the platform-specific <tt>readme.txt</tt> and
     <tt>install.txt</tt> for how to do this:</p>

  <!-- DOCUMENTATION -->

  <h1>Documentation</h1>

  <p>The wxWidgets manual is available in various formats; the availability of
     the following formats depends on what you've downloaded from the
     <a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org">wxWidgets website</a>:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="doxygen/out/html/index.html">HTML</a></li>

    <li><a href="doxygen/out/wx.pdf">Portable Document Format (PDF)</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>To use the manual in the <b>wxHTML Help</b> format (extension
     <tt>htb</tt>), you can use the <b>HelpView</b> application, compiling it
     from the <tt>utils/helpview</tt> folder in the wxWidgets
     distribution.</p>

  <p>Also note that beyond the wxWidgets manual there are various other
     <strong>resources</strong> which can help to learn wxWidgets
     programming:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org">The wxWidgets website</a>: Contains
        FAQs, tutorials, info about the mailing lists, and in general
        everything related to the wxWidgets world is linked here.</li>
    <li><a href="http://wxforum.shadonet.com/">The wxWidgets forum</a>:
        Provides a discussion board about various wxWidgets topics (contains
        also <em>localized</em> forums).</li>
    <li><a href="http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/">The wxWiki</a>: A user-editable
