+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>
+The first sokoban game was created in 1982 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi at
+the Japanese company Thinking Rabbit, Inc.  <quote>Sokoban</quote> is
+japanese for <quote>warehouse keeper</quote>.  The idea is that you
+are a warehouse keeper trying to push crates to their proper locations
+in a warehouse.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The problem is that you cannot pull the crates or step over them. If
+you are not careful, some of the crates can get stuck in wrong places
+and/or block your way.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It can be rather difficult just to solve a level. But if you want to
+make it even harder, you can try to minimize the number of moves
+and/or pushes you use to solve the level.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To make the game more fun for small kids (below 10 years or so), some
+collections with easier levels are also included in &ksokoban;. These
+are marked <emphasis>(easy)</emphasis> in the level collection menu.
+Of course, these levels can be fun for adults too, for example if you
+don't want to expose yourself to too much mental strain.
+</para>

+<title>The Game</title>
+
+<para>
+The objective of the game is to push all the red gems to the goal
+squares, which are marked with green glassy round things on the floor.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use the cursor keys or the mouse to move about. If you move onto a gem
+using the cursor keys or the <mousebutton>middle</mousebutton> mouse
+button, and there is nothing blocking it on the opposite side, then you
+will push the gem.  It isn't possible to pull the gems, so if you push
+a gem into a corner it will be stuck there. You cannot step over the
+gems either, so you can also get trapped in a part of the maze by
+blocking the way with gems.  Also note that it isn't possible to push
+more than one gem at a time.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you notice that you have moved the gems in such a way that the
+level is impossible to solve, then you can always use the undo feature
+to go back to a position where the mistake has not yet been made. You
+can of course also restart the level from the very beginning.

+<para>
+The external levels must be defined using the standard characters
