+                           The Coq documentation
+                           =====================
+
+The Coq documentation includes 
+
+- A Reference Manual
+- A Tutorial
+- A document presenting the Coq standard library
+- A list of questions/answers in the FAQ style
+
+The sources of the documents are mainly made of LaTeX code from which
+user-readable PostScript or PDF files, or a user-browsable bunch of
+html files are generated.
+
+Prerequisite
+------------
+
+To produce the documents, you need the coqtop, coq-tex, coqdoc and
+gallina tools, with same version number as the current
+documentation. These four tools normally come with any basic Coq
+installation.
+
+In addition, to produce the PostScript documents, the following tools
+are needed:
+
+  - latex (latex2e)
+  - dvips
+  - bibtex
+  - makeindex
+  - pngtopnm and pnmtops (for the Reference Manual and the FAQ)
+
+To produce the PDF documents, the following tools are needed:
+
+  - pdflatex
+  - bibtex
+
+To produce the html documents, the following tools are needed:
+
+  - hevea (e.g. 1.07 works)
+
+To produce the documentation of the standard library, a source copy of
+the coq distribution is needed.
