+    <h2>Online documentation</h2>
+
+    <p>
+    <acronym>deal.II</acronym> comes with quite extensive online
+    documentation, which falls into several categories. They are
+    listed below.
+    </p>
+
+
+    <h4>README file</h4>
+      <p>
+      The <a href="readme.html" target="body">README file</a> of
+      the library. It gives information on system requirements,
+      installation, and copyright.</p>
+
+    <h4>Tutorials</h4>
+    
+      <p>
+      The <a href="tutorial/index.html" target="_top">tutorial</a>:
+      for new users of the library. It explains the basic elements of
+      finite element programs based on the library, and provides small
+      example programs.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+      Another chapter of the tutorial gives an overview of information
+      classified by subject. This is more for reference than to learn
+      about the library the first time.
+      </p>
+
+
+    <h4>Programming interface</h4>
+
+      <p>
+      These are the pages you will need most often as a reference of
+      all classes, functions and variables in the library. They are
+      extensively documented (presently approximately 1250 pages if
+      printed), and are split into several parts, according to the
+      sub-libraries and the different directories of the main
+      <acronym>deal.II</acronym> library:
+        <ul>
+          <li> <a href="auto/kdoc/base/index.html" target="body">
+                 <code>/base</code> library</a>: a set of classes not
+                 specifically related to finite elements, but
+                 nonetheless important for the overall library,
+          <li> <a href="auto/kdoc/lac/index.html" target="body">
+                 <code>/lac</code> library</a>: <em>L</em>inear
+                 <em>a</em>lgebra <em>c</em>lasses,
+          <li> <a href="auto/kdoc/grid/index.html" target="body">
+               Grid handling</a> in the 
+                 <code>/deal.II</code> library,
+          <li> <a href="auto/kdoc/dof/index.html" target="body">
+               Degrees of freedom and finite elements</a> in the 
+                 <code>/deal.II</code> library,
+          <li> <a href="auto/kdoc/numerics/index.html" target="body">
+               Numerical tools</a> in the 
+                 <code>/deal.II</code> library.
+        </ul>
+      </p>
+
+
+    <h4>Development information</h4>
+  
+      <p>
+      If you plan to <a href="development/index.html"
+           target="_top">develop your own applications</a> using
+      <acronym>deal.II</acronym>, it might be worth to take a look
+      at <a href="development/index.html" target="_top">this
+      page</a>.
+      </p>
+
+      
+    <h4>Reports</h4>
+    
+      <p>
+      We have a few reports written on <acronym>deal.II</acronym>,
+      the following of which are online:
+        <ul>

+             A <a href="reports/deal.II-paper/index.html" target="body">
+             paper describing the background, purpose and methods</a>
+             of <acronym>deal.II</acronym>, by Wolfgang Bangerth and

+             99-43 from the 
+             <a href="http://www.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de" target="_top">

+             </p>
+
+         <li> <p>
+              A report on how
