   <title>Create a new theme</title>
+<p>Each theme consists of a single PNG image file. This image
+    consists of an array of seven rows, corresponding to the different
+    <key>object colors/shapes,</key> and four columns, each of which is a frame in the
+    animation of the object. The actual size of the image is irrelevant,
+    it will be rescaled, but the sub-images must form a four by seven
+    grid to get the correct effect. When using SVG remember that the
+    image size is the page size, if your grid does not fill the page
+    try shrinking the page size. Use an existing theme as a
+    guide.</p>

   <title>How to Play</title>
+<p> Playing <key>Five or More</key> is easy. At startup, you find
+      yourself with five objects randomly positioned on <gui>the board</gui>. Each turn,
+      you are allowed to move one object. You can move it anywhere on the board as long as 
+ there is a clear path. Afterward, the computer drops more objects
+      at random positions (the exact number depends on the size of the game). You can preview the next objects to be
+      dropped in the upper left corner of the game's window.
+      If you manage to align five objects of the same shape and color, they
+      disappear and you are given an extra move before more objects drop.</p>
+
+
+
+<p> Starting <key>Five or More </key> presents you with the
+    game board and a new game starts. What it 
+    looks like is shown below </p>
