[[manpages]]
=== Manual Pages
-As with almost all UNIX(R) like operating systems, FreeBSD comes with a set of on-line manual pages, accessed through the {{< manpage "man" "1">}} command or through the http://link:www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi[hypertext manual pages gateway] on the FreeBSD Web site. In general, the manual pages provide information on the different commands and APIs available to the FreeBSD user.

+In general, these pages provide information on the different commands and APIs available to the FreeBSD user.
-In some cases, manual pages are written to give information on particular topics. Notable examples of such manual pages are {{< manpage "tuning" "7">}} (a guide to performance tuning), {{< manpage "security" "7">}} (an introduction to FreeBSD security), and {{< manpage "style" "9">}} (a style guide to kernel coding).

[[booksarticles]]
=== Books and Articles
-Two highly-useful collections of FreeBSD-related information, maintained by the FreeBSD Project, are the FreeBSD Handbook and FreeBSD FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions document). On-line versions of the link:{handbook}[Handbook] and link:{faq}[FAQ] are always available from the link:../../../doc[FreeBSD Documentation page] or its mirrors. If you install the [.filename]`doc` distribution set, you can use a Web browser to read the Handbook and FAQ locally. In particular, note that the Handbook contains a step-by-step guide to installing FreeBSD.
+FreeBSD Project-maintained documentation includes the highly useful _FreeBSD Handbook_, which includes a detailed guide to installing and upgrading the operating system, and _FreeBSD FAQ_ (Frequently Asked Questions). The link:{handbook}[Handbook] and link:{faq}[FAQ] are online in the link:{main-site}[documentation portal] and at mirror sites.
+
+Other Project-maintained books and articles are more specialized -- covering a wide range of topics, from effective use of the mailing lists, to dual-booting FreeBSD with other operating systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are in the portal, mirrors and [.filename]`doc` repository.
-A number of on-line books and articles, also maintained by the FreeBSD Project, cover more-specialized, FreeBSD-related topics. This material spans a wide range of topics, from effective use of the mailing lists, to dual-booting FreeBSD with other operating systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are available from the FreeBSD Documentation Page or in the doc distribution set.
+For offline documentation in HTML and PDF formats: you can install a language-specific package such as package:misc/freebsd-doc-en[] (_-en_ for English), or multi-language package:[misc/freebsd-doc-all]. Alternatively, use a copy of the [.filename]`doc` repo to build and install from source code.
A listing of other books and documents about FreeBSD can be found in the link:{handbook}#bibliography[bibliography] of the FreeBSD Handbook. Because of FreeBSD's strong UNIX(R) heritage, many other articles and books written for UNIX(R) systems are applicable as well, some of which are also listed in the bibliography.
