-<h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
+<h2>The Greenstone software</h2>
 
-<p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
-organizing information and making it available over the Internet.  A
-<i>collection</i> of information comprises several (typically several
-thousand, or even several million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform
-searching and browsing interface.  The collections in a library are
-organized in a different way--though they share a strong family
-resemblance.  Although primarily designed for access over the Web,
-Greenstone collections can be made available, in precisely the same form,
-on CD-ROM for standalone PCs.  Greenstone is open-source software,
-available under the terms of the Gnu public license.  Documentation is
-available in the form of <i><a

-Digital Library Software</a></i> manual.
