<title>Introduction</title>
<para>The <application>Yelp Help Browser</application> application allows you to view documentation
regarding GNOME and other components through a variety of formats. These
formats include docbook files, HTML help pages, man pages and info pages
(support for man pages and info pages may optionally be compiled in).
Despite the different formats supported, Yelp does its best to provide a
unified look and feel regardless of the original document format.</para>
<para><application>Yelp Help Browser</application> is internationalised, meaning that it has support
to view documents in different languages. The documents must be localised
or translated for each language and installed properly for Yelp Help
Browser to be able to view them.</para>
