Title: LinuxFocus Article Template

Abstract:

In the "Abstract chapter" you write a little summary about your article.

_________________ _________________ _________________

How to write the article?

Just copy and paste your article below the ArticleBody heading. Your own headings must be on level <H2> or <H3>. Apart from that you can use any html tags. Everything above the ArticleBody heading is specific to this template and must not be changed with regards to its structure.

What is the template format?

At LinuxFocus we use an internal html file format. This is a very simple html file which can then easily be converted into the final article format. We call this template format also meta file format. Everything is done using this format. You must submit your article in this simplified format. Do not try to use final article format which we use to publish the article. Courious what the converter does to this article? Just click here to look at it.

You are encouraged to include images and code examples where needed. Make sure that images are generally not wider than 600 pixel otherwise readers will have difficulties to print the article. Pre-formatted lines (html <pre>) must not be longer than 75 characters otherwise there will again be a problem when printing the article.

Code examples can be put into a blue box. To get such a blue box use the html tag <pre class="code"> </pre>. An example of this can be seen in the paragraph below.

What article categories are available?

Under the keyword <H4>ArticleCategory:</H4> (see above) you define the category your article belongs to.
The ArticleCategory can have one of the following values:

Available categories:
                   Forum,
                   Applications,
                   Hardware,
