+\p(This GNU m4 site is maintained by René Seindal,
+(\mailto(rene@seindal)).)
+
+\p(All files are generated using GNU m4 \__m4_version__.  You can view
+the \link(m4lib/, source files).  They are very simple.  They use some
+features from Gnu m4 1.4l)
+
+\p(The basic M4 definitions of quotes, comments, escapes are in
+\showlink(m4lib/setup.m4).  This is first included by all files to
+configure the enviroment correctly for the other files.  To avoid have
+macros called by accident, an escape character is defined with
+changesyntax.  \i(This is a new feature in m4 1.4l).)
+
+\p(Some fairly general macros to generate various HTML construct are
+found in \showlink(m4lib/html.m4).  There are macros for simple tags,
+containers with and with attributes, links and a few utility macros.)
+
+\p(The visual aspects of the pages are in \showlink(m4lib/layout.m4).
+The macros herein generate the complete HTML structure for the pages.
+There are macros for making the header and the body of the document.)
+
+\p(The page body is passed to the layout definitions as an argument.  As
+the text can be large, it is first diverted and the text passed to the
+layout macros is simply a call to undivert.  That way a very large text
+can be passed around with very little cost.  This page is made with
+\link(m4lib/thissite.m4, these definitions).)
+
+\p(There is a single file for each HTML file.)
