-    <para>Visual Haskell is a plugin for Microsoft's Visual Studio
-      development environment to support development of Haskell software.
-      Like the other Visual languages, Visual Haskell integrates with the
-      Visual Studio editor to provide interactive features to aid Haskell
-      development, and it enables the construction of projects consisting of
-      multiple Haskell modules.</para>

-
-      <para>In order to use Visual Haskell, you need <ulink url="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/">Visual Studio .NET
-        2003</ulink>.  Right now, this is the only supported version of Visual
-        Studio - unfortunately we haven't yet added support for the 2005
-        Beta.  The Express languages (Visual C++ Express etc.) also will not
-        work, because they don't have support for plugins.</para>
-
-      <para>You don't need to install GHC separately: Visual Haskell
-        is bundled with a complete GHC distribution, and various other tools
-        (Happy, Alex, Haddock).</para>

-      <para>The latest Visual Haskell installer can be obtained from

-        <title>Version 0.0, first release</title>
-
-        <para>This release is a technology preview, and should be considered
-          alpha quality.  It works for us, but you are fairly likely to
-          encounter problems.  If you're willing to try it out and report
-          bugs, we'd be grateful for the feedback.</para>

-            <para>This release of Visual Haskell is bundled with a
-              development snapshot of GHC, version 6.5 from around 14
-              September 2005.  This version of GHC is used to provide the
-              interactive editing features, and will be used to compile all
-              code inside Visual Haskell.  It is possible that in future
-              releases we may be able to relax this tight coupling between
-              Visual Haskell and the bundled GHC.</para>
-
-            <para>Please note that future releases of Visual
-              Haskell will update the compiler, and hence the
-              packages, and so may break your code.  Also note that because
-              the bundled GHC is not a released version, it may have bugs and
-              quirks itself: please report them as usual to
-              <email>glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org</email>.</para>

-          infrastructure.  A project in Visual Haskell <emphasis>is</emphasis>

-    <title>Getting Started</title>
-
-    <para>After installing Visual Haskell, start up Visual Studio as you
-      would normally, and observe that on the splash screen where it lists
-      the supported languages you should now see an icon for Visual
-      Haskell (if you don't see this, something has gone wrong... please let
-      us know).</para>
-
-    <para>Firstly, take a look at the bundled documentation.  Go to
-      Help-&gt;Contents, and you should see the &ldquo;Visual Haskell Help
-      Collection&rdquo;, which contains a large collection of GHC and
-      Haskell-related documentaiton, including this document.</para>
-
-    <para>To start using Visual Haskell right away, create a new
-      project (File-&gt;New-&gt;Project...).  Select one of the Haskell
-      project types (Console Application or Library Package), and hit Ok.
-      The project will be created for you, and an example module
-      added: <literal>Main.hs</literal> for an application, or
-      <literal>Module1.hs</literal> for a library.</para>
-
-    <para>You can now start adding code to
-      <literal>Main.hs</literal>, or adding new modules.  To add a new
-      module, right-click on the <literal>src</literal> directory, and
-      select Add-&gt;New Item.  Visual Haskell supports hierarchical
-      modules too: you can add new folders using the same Add menu to
-      create new nodes in the hierarchy.</para>
-
-    <para>If you have any errors in your code, they will be underlined with
-      a red squiggly line.  Select the Tasks window (usually a tab near the
-      bottom of the Visual Studio window) to see the error messages, and
-      click on an error message to jump to it in the editor.</para>
-
-    <para>To build the program, hit Ctrl-Shift-B, or select one of the
-      options from the Build menu.</para>
-  </section>
-
-  <section>
-    <title>Editing Haskell code</title>
-
-      <para>(ToDo: more detail here)</para>
-
-      <para>Your module must be plain Haskell (<literal>.hs</literal>) for
-        the interactive features to fully work.  If your module is
-        pre-processed with CPP or Literate Haskell, then Visual Haskell will
-        only check the module when it is saved; between saves the source will
-        not be checked for errors and the type information will not be
-        updated.  If the source file is
-        pre-processed with Happy or another pre-processor, then you may have
-        to build the project before the type information will be updated
-        (because the pre-processor is only run as part of the build process).
-        Pre-processed source files work fine in a multi-module setting; you
-        can have modules which depend on a pre-processed module and full
-        interactive checking will still be available in those modules.</para>
-
-      <para>Because Visual Haskell is using GHC as a backend for its
-        interactive editing features, it supports the full GHC language,
-        including all extensions.</para>
