Manual for ChessTask v2.0

Dirk Bächle (dl9obn@darc.de)

You do not have to read the sections that are marked with "+" or "++" if you only want to generate HTML pages with ChessTask. A single "plus" refers to the description of advanced options for both TeX/LaTeX and HTML. The topics marked with two "plus" signs go into some details about the export to LaTeX and TeX/LaTeX itself. If you have been working with ChessTask before and are updating from a version 1.x, please regard the Changes in v2.0!
