Perhaps a good example is
http://www.php.net/manual/en/

But this is a lot of work to set up.  I'd rather take small
steps.  I do plan to look into phpbb as an alternative to
bazookaboard*, but not today, and probably not tomorrow.  So if
things proceed without me, so be it.

*I remember rejecting phpbb once, but I sort of gave myself 30
minutes to install something, not wanting to spend more time than
that.  Bazookaboard met that test, and nothing else did.  But I
could raise the cutoff.
