<H3><A NAME="Heading9"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">Writing and Submitting a HOWTO</FONT></H3>
<P>If you are interested in writing a HOWTO or mini-HOWTO, please get in touch with me FIRST at <B>linux-howto&#64;sunsite.unc.edu</B>.</P>
<P>Here are a few guidelines that you should follow when writing a HOWTO or mini-HOWTO:</P>
<DL>
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;Try to use meaningful structure and organization, and write clearly. Remember that many of the people reading HOWTOs do not speak English as their first language.
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are writing a HOWTO, you must use the SGML-Tools package, available from   <A HREF="http://www.pobox.com/~cg/sgmltools">http://www.pobox.com/~cg/sgmltools</A>, to format the HOWTO. This package allows us to produce LaTeX (for DVI and PostScript), plain text, and HTML from a single source document, and was designed specifically for the HOWTOs. This also gives all of the HOWTOs a uniform look. It is very important that you format and review the output of the formatting in PostScript, plain text, and HTML.
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are writing a mini-HOWTO, you can either use SGML (as described above) or HTML. If you use SGML for your mini-HOWTO, it will be published along with the HOWTOs in LDP books.
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;Make sure that all the information is correct. I can&#146;t stress this enough. When in doubt, speculate, but make it clear that you&#146;re only guessing.
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;Make sure that you are covering the most recent version of the available software. Also, be sure to include full instructions on where software can be downloaded from (FTP site name, full pathname), and the current version number and release date of the software.
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;Include a FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO documents need a &#147;FAQ&#148; or &#147;Common Problems&#148; section to cover information that can&#146;t be covered in the regular text.
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;Use other HOWTOs or mini-HOWTOs as a model! The SGML source to the HOWTOs is available on Linux FTP sites. In addition, have a look at the LDP Style Guide for some guidelines.  Make sure that your name, e-mail address, date, and a version number is near the beginning of the document. You could also include WWW addresses and a snail mail address if you want. The standard header is:
<DL>
<DD>Title
<DD>Author&#146;s name and e-mail address
<DD>Version number and date
<DD>For example:
<DD>The Linux HOWTO Index
<DD>by Tim Bynum
<DD>v2.10.29, 31 July 1997
</DL>
<DD><B>&#149;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;Lastly, be prepared to receive questions and comments about your writing. There are several hundreds of accesses to the HOWTO collection every day from around the world!
</DL>
<P>After you have written the HOWTO, mail it to me. If you used SGML-Tools, simply mail me the SGML source; I take care of formatting the documents. I&#146;ll also take care of archiving the HOWTOs on sunsite.unc.edu and posting them to the various newsgroups.
</P>
<P>It is important that you go through me when submitting a HOWTO, as I maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs are being written and who is doing what.</P>
<P>Then, all you have to do is send me periodic updates whenever appropriate.</P>
