-\chapter{Introduction}
-
-This document is an ``advanced user'' manual for the X11 window manager
-Ion, version 3. It is an attempt at documenting things that go into Ion's
-configuration files, how to configure Ion by simple modifications 
-to these files and how to write more complex extensions in Lua, the 
-lightweight configuration and scripting language used by Ion. 
-
-Readers unfamiliar with Lua might first want to first glance at some 
-Lua documentation at
-
-\begin{center}
-    \url{http://www.lua.org/docs.html}, or \\
-    \url{http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaTutorial},
-\end{center}
-
-although this should not be strictly necessary for basic modifications
-of configuration files for anyone with at least some familiarity with
-programming languages.
-
-Back in this document, first in chapter \ref{chap:prelim} some key
-concepts and relations are explained. These include the module system,
-and Ion's object (or ``region'') and class hierarchies. While it may
-not be necessary to study the latter for basic copy-paste modifications
-of configuration files -- for that you should not really need this
-manual either -- it is, however, essential to for more extensive
-customisation, due to the semi-object-oriented nature of most of
-Ion's scripting interface. Knowing the different object types also
-helps dealing with the different binding ``contexts'' (see
-Section \ref{sec:bindings}) that to some extent mirror these classes.
-
-The new user, fed up with the default key bindings and eager to 
-just quickly configure Ion to his liking, may therefore just want
-to skip to Chapter \ref{chap:config}, and attempt to work from therefore.
-That chapter provides the very basic Ion configuration know-how
-is provided: all the different configuration files and their locations
-are explained, instructions are given to allow the reader to
-configure bindings and so-called ``winprops'', and the statusbar
-templates are also explained. 
-
-Next, Chapter \ref{chap:gr} explains the notion of drawing engines
-and graphical styles and how to write new looks for Ion. More advanced
-aspects of Ion's scripting interface are documented in Chapter 
-\ref{chap:tricks}. 
-Finally, most of the functions provided by Ion's scripting interface
-are listed and documented in the Function reference in Chapter
-\ref{sec:exports}. At the end of the document an alphabetical
-listing of all these functions may be found.
