HOWTO Article
A HOW TO Article, often called just a HOW TO, is an article that usually explains 'how to' use a certain piece of software but can be applied to almost anything including the preparation of fruit salads. While HOWTOs are in many ways tutorials for a specific task, they are not just tutorials as they tend to be much more in-depth, explaining some level of theory along the way, and in that a reader of a well-written HOWTO is more likely to glean some sort of general knowledge about the software in question. Furthermore, a HOWTO often assumes a higher level of basic knowledge on the topic in question.
There are many sources for HOWTO articles, one of the most famous being the Linux Documentation Project, a project to document features of Linux and GNU software.

Famous quotes containing the word article:
“It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
