+      <p>
+      This chapter describes the placement of TeX input files, so that
+      they can be found by programs.  Files that are not TeX input
+      files must not be put in a TEXMF tree (put them into
+      <file>/usr/share/<var>package</var></file> instead).  As an
+      exception, documentation files in plain text may be used inside
+      a <var>TEXMF</var> tree, e.g. to explain the purpose of an
+      otherwise empty directory.
