+This is an overview of the Language Definition XML format, describing the
+meaning and usage of every element and attribute.  The formal definition is
+stored in the RelaxNG schema file <code class="filename">language2.rng</code> which
+should be installed on your system in the directory
+<code class="filename">${PREFIX}/share/gtksourceview-3.0/</code> (where
+<code class="filename">${PREFIX}</code> can be <code class="filename">/usr/</code> or
