+.SH SYNTAX
+Empty lines and lines beginning with \fB#\fP are ignored.
+.PP
+The file starts with definition of files:
+.TP
+.B "/path/to/files"
+add these files to currentness control
+.TP
+.B "-r /path/to/files"
+recursively add these files and directories to currentness control
+.PP
+The rest of the file consists of compilation rules, each consisting of two consecutive lines:
+.TP
+The \fBfirst\fP line is a regex-aware rule for identifying dependencies and must not end on \fB;\fP.
+.TP
+.B "1>1 target:sourceRegEx"
+Each file matching \fIsourceRegEx\fP generates one \fItarget\fP.
+.TP
+.B "n>n target:sourceRegEx"
+All files matching \fIsourceRegEx\fP contribute simultanously in generating \fItarget\fP (possibly multiple files).
+.TP
+The \fBsecond\fP line contains commands to refresh the targets and must end on \fB;\fP.
+.SH SUBSTITUTIONS
+Some substitutions and macros are recognized:
+.TP
+.B "%nurmit'filePart'"
+only apply rule / consider source file if name of source file contains \fIfilePart\fP
+.TP
+.B "%nurohne'filePart'"
+opposite of \fB%nurmit'filePart'\fP
+.TP
+.B "%in"
+file name and path of source file
+.TP
+.B "%ifile"
+file name of source file
+.TP
+.B "%basename"
+file name of source file without extension(s)
+.TP
+.B "%basedir(number)"
+path to source file stripped by last \fInumber\fP directory components
+.TP
+.B "%basedir"
+path so source file.
+Identical to \fB%basedir(0)\fP.
+.TP
+.B "%BASEDIR"
+path to \fIMachdatei\fP
+.TP
+.B "%num'string'"
+last decimal number in \fIstring\fP.
+E.g. \fB%num'abc123def456ghi'\fP becomes \fB456\fP.
