discuss: Thread: Re: That mini-HOWTO template

Toby,

FYI, all discussion is moving over to the new LDP mailing lists. If you
have not subscribed over there, please do so now.  The "ldp-discuss" 
mailing list is going away.

Please take a look at the LDP Author Guide. It explains what you need
to do to mark up your HOWTO:

Specifically, on the "new authors" page are some templates you can use:

Also, the trend is now to go away from distinguishing between a "HOWTO"
and a "mini-HOWTO" as the distinction before was somewhat arbitrary and
some of the "mini-HOWTOs" in fact became quite large on their own.
Please consider just naming it a "HOWTO".

I hope this helps... and if you need more assistance please subscribe
to the new LDP mailing lists:
