-      <p>
-        This documentation is included with the current UNRELEASED version of
-        <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, 3.0.26, and is mostly
-        complete at this point. The most up to date reference for the time
-        being is still the comments in the source files and in the individual
-        configuration files. Development of a new version is currently
-        nearing completion, and includes significant changes and enhancements
-        over earlier versions.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        Since this is a UNRELEASED version, not all new features are well
-        tested. This documentation may be slightly out of sync as a result
-        (especially with CVS sources). And there <span class="emphasis"><i
-        class="EMPHASIS">may be</i></span> bugs, though hopefully not many!

-        <h2 class="SECT2">
-          <a name="FEATURES">1.1. Features</a>
-        </h2>
-        <p>
-          In addition to the core features of ad blocking and <a href=
-          "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_cookie" target=
-          "_top">cookie</a> management, <span class=
-          "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> provides many supplemental features,
-          some of them currently under development, that give the end-user
-          more control, more privacy and more freedom:
-        </p>
-        <p>
-        </p>
-        <ul>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can be
-              kept alive independently from the client.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Supports IPv6, provided the operating system does so too, and
-              the configure script detects it.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour based on
-              client and server headers.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need
-              to configure browsers individually.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server
-              and client headers.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Can be chained with other proxies.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Integrated browser-based configuration and control utility at
-              <a href="http://config.privoxy.org/" target=
-              "_top">http://config.privoxy.org/</a> (shortcut: <a href=
-              "http://p.p/" target="_top">http://p.p/</a>). Browser-based
-              tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on
-              size, invisible <span class="QUOTE">"web-bugs"</span> and HTML
-              annoyances, etc.)
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and
-              user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing
-              updated actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the
-              configuration files, and a more sophisticated and flexible
-              configuration syntax.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              GIF de-animation.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages
-              (e.g. "blocked" page).
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Most features are controllable on a per-site or per-location
-              basis.
-            </p>
-          </li>
-          <li>
-            <p>
-              Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
