   This manual is written in <abbr title="eXtensible Markup Language">XML</abbr> using the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/" class="link external">&raquo;&nbsp;DocBook XML DTD</a>, using <a href="https://wiki.php.net/doc/phd/" class="link external">&raquo;&nbsp;<abbr>PhD</abbr></a> (The [PH]P based 
   [D]ocBook renderer) for maintenance and formatting.
  </p>
  <p class="para">
   Using <abbr title="eXtensible Markup Language">XML</abbr> as a source format gives 
   the ability to generate many output formats from the source
   files, while only maintaining one source document for all formats.
   The tool used for formatting the online manual is <a href="https://wiki.php.net/doc/phd/" class="link external">&raquo;&nbsp;PhD</a>.
   We use <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconhh1start.asp" class="link external">&raquo;&nbsp;Microsoft HTML Help
   Workshop</a> to generate the <span class="productname">Windows HTML Help</span> format
   of the manual, and of course PHP itself to do some
   additional conversions and formatting.
  </p>
  <p class="para">
   The PHP manual is generated in various languages and formats, see 
   <a href="https://www.php.net/docs.php" class="link external">&raquo;&nbsp;https://www.php.net/docs.php</a> for additional details.
