  <title>Add a Target</title>

  <p>A target groups files together and defines their use.
  It is used to represent a program, with all its source files as its children
  or only group data files those should be installed at the same place.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Select the directory where you want to add the new target in
      the <gui>project view</gui>, click on the right mouse button to
      make the <gui>project context menu</gui> appear and select
      <gui>New Target</gui>.</p>
      <p>Or from the <gui>main menu</gui>, select <guiseq><gui>Project</gui>
      <gui>New Target...</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>You can select another directory in the bottom <gui>directory tree view</gui>.
      </p>
      <p>Enter a target name and select the type of the target in the
      drop-down list below.
      Depending on your project backend, various types of target are possible,
      see at the bottom.</p>
      <note style="tip">
        <p>Target names are typically restricted to letters, digits and
        the underscore, so it's safer to avoid other characters.</p>
     </note>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>When you have chosen the target name, type and parent, click on the
      <gui>Add</gui> button to create this new target.</p>
    </item>
 </steps>
