+ *  simple.cpp -	This is about the simplest useful example of using the
+ *			SWORD engine.
+ *
+ * After sword is installed, it should compile with something similar to:
+ *
+ *	g++ -o simple simple.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs sword`
+ *
+ * If you'd like to choose the type of tag markup which sword will output
+ *	for you, include:
+ *
+ *	#include <markupfiltmgr.h>
+ *
+ * and change your instantiation of SWMgr, below, to (e.g., for HTML):
+ *
+ *	SWMgr library(0, 0, true, new MarkupFilterMgr(FMT_HTMLHREF));
