+  When you publish a key, it becomes easily accessible to anybody who wants to
+  communicate with you and saves you the hassle of mailing your key
+  individually to all your communicators. However, you can also choose to not
+  publish your key if you only want to share your <em>Public key</em> with a
+  select few people.</p>

+         clicking the <gui style="add">Add</gui> button. Select the
+         appropriate key server type. Key servers are identified by the
+         protocol they use to communicate. Look for the first few letters in
+         the Internet URL of your key server to identify its type. In the
+         <gui style="input">Host</gui> field, paste the Internet URL of your
