<p>Your bug reports play an essential role in making Octave reliable.
</p>
<p>When you encounter a problem, the first thing to do is to see if it is
already known. See <a href="Trouble.html#Trouble">Trouble</a>. If it isn’t known, then you should
report the problem.
</p>
<p>Reporting a bug may help you by bringing a solution to your problem, or
it may not. In any case, the principal function of a bug report is
to help the entire community by making the next version of Octave work
better. Bug reports are your contribution to the maintenance of Octave.
</p>
<p>In order for a bug report to serve its purpose, you must include the
information that makes it possible to fix the bug.
