+@subheading Manual formats
+
+The LilyPond manuals generally come in three formats: split HTML, big HTML and
+PDF. Split HTML is good for reading online. Big HTML (and some of these can be
+very big) contains the whole manual in a single page. PDF is available for
+downloading and using offline. To get to these 3 formats, follow the links
+that read @code{details of} and then the manual name.
