-<h1>ThemePacks HOWTO</h1>
-
-<h2>Themes (Theme Packs) For Window Maker</h2>
-   
-<b>Note:</b> the information contained in this file is only valid for themes
-in the <tt>.themed</tt> (for theme directory) format, supported in 
-Window Maker 0.50.0 or newer. See <a href="theme-HOWTO.html">here</a> for 
-information on themes for WindowMaker-0.20.3 and earlier.
-<br><br><br>
-
-
-<h2>How To Install a Theme Pack</h2>
-
-To install a theme, unpack your theme into your <tt>WindowMaker</tt> directory 
-(the same as old-style themes), usually <tt>~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker</tt>
-<br><br>
-<tt>cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker</tt><br>
-<tt>gzip -dc "xyztheme.tar.gz" | tar xvf -</tt>
-<br><br>
-You can also do this in your system-wide <tt>WindowMaker</tt> directory (usually
-<tt>/usr/local/share/WindowMaker</tt>) to have the themes be available to all 
-your users. This will probably need to be done with root access.
-<br><br><br>
-
-
-<h2>How To Load a Theme</h2>
- After installing a theme, it will automatically show up in your menu under <b>Appearance -> Themes -> ThemeName</b>.
-(unless of course you have manually changed your menu to remove this) If you have your Themes menu already opened and
-pinned to your desktop, you may need to close it and reopen it to have it show the new theme.
-<br><br>
-To manually load the new theme from the command line, use the <tt>setstyle</tt> command. Example:
-<br><br>
-<tt>setstyle xyztheme.themed</tt>
-<br><br>
-Note that if you move the directory of the theme (for example, from
-<tt>~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes</tt> to <tt>/usr/local/share/WindowMaker/Themes</tt>)
-you will have to reload that theme so that path information is updated.
-<br><br><br>
-
-
-<h2>How To Make a Theme Pack</h2>
-To create a theme pack from your current configuration, use the <tt>getstyle</tt>
-utility with the <tt>-p</tt> flag. Example:
-<br><br>
-<tt>getstyle -p ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes/MyTheme</tt>
-<br><br>
-This will create a theme pack (a new directory in either the current
-directory or a directory you specify) named <tt>MyTheme.themed</tt>, containing
-everything it requires, including all pixmap files. In this example,
-the new theme pack would be made in your <tt>themes</tt> directory and be 
-immediately available in your "Themes" menu.
-<br><br>
-Additionally, you can put a text file named <tt>MyTheme.lsm</tt> in the <tt>MyTheme.themed</tt> 
-directory. This file can contain info like copyrights, credits or whatever.
-<br><br>
-To distribute your theme, just make a <tt>.tar.gz</tt> of the <tt>.themed</tt> directory.
-This is preferably done from the same directory that you unpack the themes
-from to maintain consistancy with the old theme format.
-<br><br>
-Example:
-<br><br>
-<tt>cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker</tt><br>
-<tt>tar cvf MyTheme.tar Themes/MyTheme.themed</tt><br>
-<tt>gzip MyTheme.tar</tt>
-<br><br><br>
-
-
-<h2>How To Delete a Theme Pack</h2>
-Just remove the <tt>.themed</tt> directory. Example:
-<br><br>
-<tt>cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes</tt><br>
-<tt>rm -fr themename.themed</tt>
-<br><br><br>
-
-
-<h2>How To Save Disk Space</h2>
-If you have more than 1 theme that use the same huge background image,
-you can delete all the duplicated files and then create hard links in
-place of them. For example, if you have:
-<br><br>
-<tt>theme1.themed/back.jpg</tt>
-<br><br>
-<tt>theme2.themed/backimage.jpg</tt>
-<br><br>
-<tt>theme3.themed/back.jpg</tt>
-<br><br>
-and all three files contain the same image, you can do:
-<br><br>
-<tt>rm theme2.themed/backimage.jpg</tt><br>
-<tt>rm theme3.themed/back.jpg</tt><br>
-<tt>ln theme1.themed/back.jpg theme2.themed/backimage.jpg</tt><br>
-<tt>ln theme1.themed/back.jpg theme3.themed/back.jpg</tt>

+ThemePacks HOWTO
+================
+
+Themes (Theme Packs) For Window Maker
+-------------------------------------
+**Note:** the information contained in this file is only valid for themes in the
+.themed (for theme directory) format, supported in Window Maker 0.50.0 or newer.
+See [here](theme-HOWTO.html) for information on themes for WindowMaker-0.20.3
+and earlier.
+
+How To Install a Theme Pack
+---------------------------
+To install a theme, unpack your theme into your WindowMaker directory (the same
+as old-style themes), usually `~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker`
+
+    cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker
+    gzip -dc "xyztheme.tar.gz" | tar xvf -
+
+You can also do this in your system-wide WindowMaker directory (usually
+`/usr/local/share/WindowMaker`) to have the themes be available to all your
+users. This will probably need to be done with root access.
+
+How To Load a Theme
+-------------------
+After installing a theme, it will automatically show up in your menu under
+**Appearance -> Themes -> ThemeName**. (unless of course you have manually
+changed your menu to remove this) If you have your Themes menu already opened
+and pinned to your desktop, you may need to close it and reopen it to have it
+show the new theme.
+
+To manually load the new theme from the command line, use the `setstyle`
+command. Example:
+
+    setstyle xyztheme.themed
+
+Note that if you move the directory of the theme (for example, from
+`~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes` to `/usr/local/share/WindowMaker/Themes`)
+you will have to reload that theme so that path information is updated.
+
+How To Make a Theme Pack
+------------------------
+To create a theme pack from your current configuration, use the `getstyle`
+utility with the `-p` flag. Example:
+
+    getstyle -p ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes/MyTheme
+
+This will create a theme pack (a new directory in either the current directory
+or a directory you specify) named `MyTheme.themed`, containing everything it
+requires, including all pixmap files. In this example, the new theme pack would
+be made in your themes directory and be immediately available in your "Themes"
+menu.
+
+Additionally, you can put a text file named `MyTheme.lsm` in the MyTheme.themed
+directory. This file can contain info like copyrights, credits or whatever.
+
+To distribute your theme, just make a .tar.gz of the `.themed` directory. This
+is preferably done from the same directory that you unpack the themes from to
+maintain consistancy with the old theme format.
+
+Example:
+
+    cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker
+    tar cvf MyTheme.tar Themes/MyTheme.themed
+    gzip MyTheme.tar
+
+How To Delete a Theme Pack
+--------------------------
+Just remove the .themed directory. Example:
+
+    cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes
+    rm -fr themename.themed
+
+How To Save Disk Space
+----------------------
+If you have more than 1 theme that use the same huge background image, you can
+delete all the duplicated files and then create hard links in place of them. For
+example, if you have:
+
+    theme1.themed/back.jpg
+    theme2.themed/backimage.jpg
+    theme3.themed/back.jpg
+
+and all three files contain the same image, you can do:
+
+    rm theme2.themed/backimage.jpg
+    rm theme3.themed/back.jpg
+    ln theme1.themed/back.jpg theme2.themed/backimage.jpg
+    ln theme1.themed/back.jpg theme3.themed/back.jpg
