  <title>Your page title</title>
(here's how to do a bulleted list) 
  <steps> (this starts a numbered list with 1. )
    <item> (this tag makes a bulleted list which is indented to be like a sub-topic of the main numbered list)
      <p>
        ......... <gui>(if you add these tags they will highlight the part of the gui you are trying to focus on</gui> ............ .........
      </p>
      <list> (this starts the numbered list under the bulleted list)
        <item> (again for a bullet) 
          <p>
            ......................................
            ...................................
          </p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>
            ................................ <gui> if you want to emphasize a specific part of the gui</gui>.
          </p>
        </item>
      </list>
    </item>
    <item> (the same pattern follows here) 
      <p>
        ................................. <key>if you want the user to know what key to press to perform an operation, write the key between this tag</key> ...........
      </p>
    </item>
  </steps>
