These F-CPU project documents are written in SGML (currently LinuxDoc DTD though we hope to migrate to DocBoox in the near future) and will be stored on our CVS server when we get one set up. Available here are the current versions of all documents, available for online viewing and for download as SGML source or converted into HTML, LyX, PostScript, and plain text.
If you'd like to contribute to the F-CPU documentation, please read the page on Documentation Tools.
