+              <div class="content">
+                <p>
+                  Task is built the same way everywhere.  But under Cygwin, you'll
+                  need to make sure you have the following packages available
+                  first:
+
+                  <ul>
+                    <li>gcc
+                    <li>make
+                    <li>libncurses-devel
+                    <li>libncurses8
+                  </ul>
+
+                  The gcc and make packages allow you to compile the code, and
+                  are therefore required, but the ncurses packages are optional.
+                  Ncurses will allow task to determine the width of the window, and
+                  therefore use the whole width and wrap text accordingly, for a
+                  more aesthetically pleasing display.
