<title>Help</title>
<p>Users sometimes need a little help, even with the best-designed
applications. GNOME provides a built-in topic-oriented help system
using the <link href="http://projectmallard.org/">Mallard</link>
markup language. Pioneered by GNOME developers, Mallard is an agile
and dynamic language that helps you write and revise quickly. Its
topic-oriented design means your users can find the answers they
need without sifting through a manual. With its unique linking and
organization system, Mallard is the only language designed to handle
plugin and vendor help in one coherent document.</p>
<p>When you do need linear manuals, GNOME also supports the
industry-standard <link href="http://docbook.org/">DocBook</link>
format.</p>
