+  prose %{
+    Back in 2008, the state of PDF generation in
+    Ruby was grim. The best general purpose tool that existed was
+    Austin Ziegler's PDF::Writer, which was an ambitious but
+    painfully unsustainable project. Despite years of hard work
+    from Austin, the code was slow, buggy, and hard to
+    understand. All of those things made it very difficult
+    to extend with the many features that its users needed,
+    and so it gradually turned into abandonware.
+
+    Because I had a lot of work that depended on PDF generation
+    I eventually volunteered to become the new maintainer of
+    PDF::Writer. In the first couple months after I got commit bit, I
+    managed to get out a couple minor releases that fixed
+    known issues that had been left unresolved for years,
+    and that made some people happy. However, the cliff
+    ahead of me was far too steep to climb: without a
+    major redesign, PDF::Writer would never support proper
+    internationalization, would not easily be ported to
+    Ruby 1.9, and would remain painfully slow for many
+    ordinary tasks.
+
+    Against my better judgement, but out of desperation, I
+    was convinced that the only way forward was to attempt the
+    big rewrite. It is good that I didn't realize
+    how impossible that task would be, because otherwise,
+    I would have never started working
+    on Prawn. But with the support of dozens of Ruby community
+    members who had graciously crowd-funded this project
+    so that I could take a few months off of work to
+    kick start it (long before Kickstarter existed!), Prawn
+    was born.
+
+    The PDF specification is over 1300 pages long, and despite
+    being the original author and lead maintainer of this
+    project from 2008-2011, I still know relatively little
+    about the intricacies of the format. I relied heavily
+    on the insights of our core team and casual contributors
+    to educate me on various issues, and to help develop
+    nearly every feature of this project. From day one,
+    Prawn was a stone soup in which virtually all of the
+    tasty bits were provided by the community at large --
+    my most significant contribution was to simply
+    keep stirring the pot. Now, the pot mostly stirs itself,
+    with the occasional nudge from one of the core
+    team members (usually Brad or James, but everyone
+    has pitched in at one time or the other.)
+
+    Although Prawn bears no resemblance to PDF::Writer, this library
+    is most certainly its spiritual successor. That means that between
+    Austin's efforts and that of the Prawn team, we've been
+    trying to solve the PDF problem comfortably in Ruby for
+    nearly a decade now. This manual will help you decide for
+    yourself whether we've managed to finally overcome that
+    challenge or not.
+
+    I sincerely hope that a few years down the line, someone else
+    comes along and makes something brand new and exciting that
+    blows Prawn out of the water and onto the barbeque. But until
+    that happens, what you'll find here is a very powerful
+    PDF generation library that has a great team supporting it,
+    and I suspect it will stay that way for the forseeable future.
+
+    Happy Hacking!
+
+    -greg
+
+    PS: I cannot be possibly be more grateful for the time, money,
+    code, and knowledge that the Ruby community has invested in
+    this project. Whether you're a core team member or someone
+    who filed a single thoughtful bug report, your efforts are
+    what kept me motivated throughout the years that I spent working
+    on this project.

+  This manual is a collection of examples categorized by theme and organized from the least to the most complex. While it covers most of the common use cases it is not a comprehensive guide.
+  
+  The best way to read it depends on your previous knowledge of Prawn and what you need to accomplish.
+  
+  If you are beginning with Prawn the first chapter will teach you the most basic concepts and how to create pdf documents. For an overview of the other features each chapter beyond the first either has a Basics section (which offer enough insight on the feature without showing all the advanced stuff you might never use) or is simple enough with only a few examples.
+  
+  Once you understand the basics you might want to come back to this manual looking for examples that accomplish tasks you need.
+  
+  Advanced users are encouraged to go beyond this manual and read the source code directly if any doubt is not directly covered on this manual.

+  header("Reading the examples")
+

+  The title of each example is the relative path from the Prawn source manual/ folder.
+  
+  The first body of text is the introductory text for the example. Generaly it is a short description of the features illustrated by the example.
+  
+  Next comes the example source code block in fixed width font.
+  
+  Most of the example snippets illustrate features that alter the page in place. The effect of these snippets is shown right below a dashed line. If it doesn't make sense to evaluate the snippet inline, a box with the link for the example file is shown instead.
+
+  Note that the <code>stroke_axis</code> method, used occasionally in the manual, is not part of standard Prawn and is used for demonstrative purposes. It is defined in this file:
