## 7.2. The ``lang`.`encoding`/` Directories

These directories contain the documents themselves. The documentation is split into up to three more categories at this level, indicated by the different directory names.

Directory: `articles`
Contents: Documentation marked up as a DocBook `article` (or equivalent). Reasonably short, and broken up into sections. Normally only available as one XHTML file.
Directory: `books`
Contents: Documentation marked up as a DocBook `book` (or equivalent). Book length, and broken up into chapters. Normally available as both one large XHTML file (for people with fast connections, or who want to print it easily from a browser) and as a collection of linked, smaller files.
Directory: `man`
Contents: For translations of the system manual pages. This directory will contain one or more `man`n`` directories, corresponding to the sections that have been translated.

Not every ``lang`.`encoding`` directory will contain all of these directories. It depends on how much translation has been accomplished by that translation team.
