		<h1>Welcome to NHibernate!</h1>
		<hr>
		<p>
			<a href="http://www.nhibernate.org/">NHibernate</a> is a .NET based object persistence library for relational databases. 
			NHibernate is a port of the excellent Java <a href="http://www.hibernate.org/">Hibernate</a>
			relational persistence tool.
		</p>
		<p>
			You can find tutorials and samples in the <a href="http://www.hibernate.org/365.html">NHibernate Resources</a>.
		</p>
		<h2>Latest Version</h2>
		<p>
			Details of the latest version of NHibernate can be found on SourceForge at

		<h2>Documentation</h2>
		<p>
			All available resources on NHibernate can be found online:
			<a href="http://www.hibernate.org/22.html#A17">http://www.hibernate.org/22.html#A17</a>.

			</li>
			<li>
				Copy H2Reg.exe and H2Reg.ini from the H2Reg installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\HelpWare\H2Reg) to
				the NHibernate Help2 folder (e.g. C:\NHibernate\doc\en\Help2).
			</li>
			<li>
				Register the help collection from the command line using the following command from the NHibernate Help2 folder.
			</li>
		</ul>
		<blockquote>
			<code>
				H2Reg -r CmdFile=NHibernateCollection.ini
			</code>
		</blockquote>
		<ul dir="ltr">
			<li>
				If you need to unregister the help collection, the command is as follows:
			</li>
		</ul>
		<blockquote>
			<code>
