+# Formatting Information
+
+So you want to contribute to Grenzland? Great! Just type away!
+While you can send me your text in any kind of format, I prefer
+plain text. Just save your file as `*.txt` with whatever program
+you use for writing.
+
+If you want to help out actually formatting the article you can
+add some simple markup to your plain text. The system I use
+is called "roff", a *very old school* system indeed. And for
+those who know roff a bit, or groff, as it's modern incarnation
+is called, *Grenzland* uses the *ms* macro package and adds some
+custom macros for convenience. But this was already too much tech
+talk so let's just see what you can do:
+
+## Title
+
+Markup the title of your article like this:
+
+```
+.H1
+Your Title goes here!
+```
+
+So that's a dot, capital H and numeral 1 on a single line. It
+basically sais: head up, next line will be our title.
+
+## Paragraphs
+
+Let's now make a paragraph with proper indentation and a little
+spacing:
+
+```
+.PP
+Text of your paragraph. If you want to add a new paragraph, just
+insert another
+.PP
+liks this.
+```
