WPS tags should NOT be in the manual.
1) its too bloodu long which scares people away from reading it (yes
its in an appendix but still, seeing 100+ pages is enough to turn
people off)
2) its updated too frequently
3) TeX is a PITA to work in and not everyone has the required tools
4) who is this we that agreed?
5) (something about not forcing the manual contributers to learn c)


http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CustomWPS is and always will be the most
up to date info on the skin stuff. All changes go there pretty damn
quickly after a commit.
