-  <title>IRC account details</title>
-
-  <p>IRC accounts require different information than many other types of
-  accounts.  To create an IRC account, you must specify at least an IRC
-  network and a nickname.  This page details the information you can
-  provide for an IRC account.</p>

-  <note style="info package">
-    <p>You must have the <sys>telepathy-idle</sys> package installed to use IRC

-      <title><gui>Network</gui></title>
-      <p>IRC is an open system that allows people to run separate IRC
-      networks.  Each network is distinct and has its own users and
-      chat rooms.  <app>Empathy</app> lists the most popular networks
-      in the <gui>Network</gui> drop-down list.  You can add additional
-      networks.  See <link xref="#networks"/> below.</p>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <title><gui>Nickname</gui></title>
-      <p>Your nickname is your unique name on the IRC network. Only one
-      person on a network may use a given nickname.  If you get an error
-      message that says <link xref="prob-conn-name" role="error-msg"/>
-      you will need to change your nickname.</p>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <title><gui>Password</gui></title>
-      <p>Some servers, particularly those on private networks, require
-      a password to connect.  If you are authorized to use the network,
-      the network administrators should provide you with a password.</p>
-      <note>
-        <title>NickServ Passwords</title>
-        <p>On some networks, nicknames can be registered using a service
-        known as NickServ.  <app>Empathy</app> does not directly support
-        nickname passwords.  On some networks, including the popular
-        freenode network, server passwords are automatically forwarded
-        to NickServ, allowing you to set this field to identify yourself
-        with NickServ.  See <link xref="irc-nick-password"/> for more
-        details.</p>
-      </note>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <title><gui>Real name</gui></title>
-      <p>You can provide your real name in addition to your nickname.  Other
-      users will be able to see this when they view your information.</p>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <title><gui>Quit message</gui></title>
-      <p>When you go offline, a quit message is sent to all the chat rooms
-      you’re in and to all the users you’re having a private conversation
-      with.  Use this field to provide a custom quit message.</p>

-        encoding that can handle text from most of the world's languages.

-        communicate with all users on all other servers on that network.
-        You can add and remove servers for this network using the
-        <gui>Add</gui> and <gui>Remove</gui> buttons.</p>
-        <p>When a server is selected, click the field under <gui>Server</gui>
-        or <gui>Port</gui> to edit it.  Alternatively, use the left and right

-        <p>Select the check box in the <gui>SSL</gui> column to encrypt

-  <title>Use a nickname password on IRC</title>
-
-  <p>On some IRC networks, you can register your nickname with a service called
-  NickServ.  By sending special messages to NickServ, you can set your password
-  and identify yourself.  Some IRC chat rooms may not allow you to join without
-  a registered nickname.</p>
-
-  <p><app>Empathy</app> does not currently support nickname registration.  Some
-  IRC networks, however, will automatically forward a <em>server password</em> to
-  NickServ.  On these networks, you can use the IRC password in <app>Empathy</app>
-  to identify yourself to NickServ.  The popular freenode network is known to have
-  this feature.</p>
-
-  <p>To set an IRC server password:</p>
-
-  <steps>
-    <item>
-      <p>From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
-      <gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>, or press <key>F4</key>.</p>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <p>Select the IRC account from the list on the left of the dialog.</p>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <p>
-	      In the <gui>Password</gui> field, type the password you used to register
-	      your nikcname.
-      </p>
-    </item>
-    <item>
-      <p>Click <gui style="button">Apply</gui>.</p>
-    </item>
-  </steps>
-
-
-  <note>
-    <p>These instructions only allow you to use a password-protected nickname
-    on certain IRC networks.  It is not currently possible to register an IRC
-    nickname or change your nickname password using <app>Empathy</app>.</p>
