<h1>1 Introduction</h1>
  
  <p><span class="code">Reltool</span> is a release management tool. It analyses a given
  Erlang/OTP installation and determines various dependencies between
  applications. The <span class="code">graphical</span> frontend depicts the dependencies and
  enables interactive customization of a target system. The backend provides a
  <span class="code">batch</span> interface for generation of customized target systems.</p>
