Process this file with an XSLT processor: `xsltproc \
-''-nonet /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/\
manpages/docbook.xsl manpage.dbk'.  A manual page
<package>.<section> will be generated.  You may view the
manual page with: nroff -man <package>.<section> | less'.  A
typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:

DB2MAN=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/\
manpages/docbook.xsl
XP=xsltproc -''-nonet

manpage.1: manpage.dbk
        $(XP) $(DB2MAN) $<

The xsltproc binary is found in the xsltproc package.  The
XSL files are in docbook-xsl.  Please remember that if you
create the nroff version in one of the debian/rules file
targets (such as build), you will need to include xsltproc
and docbook-xsl in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>This manual page documents briefly the
      <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>

    <para>This manual page was written for the &debian; distribution
      because the original program does not have a manual page.</para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is a program for speech analysis
      and synthesis.  Through its graphical interface, several speech
      analysis functionalities are available: spectrograms, cochleograms,
      and pitch and formant extraction.  Articulatory synthesis, as well as
      synthesis from pitch, formant, and intensity are also available.
      Other features are segmentation, labelling using the phonetic
      alphabet, and computation of statistics.  Praat is configurable and
      extensible through its own scripting language and has provisions for
      communicating with other programs. </para>
