-Quick start:  Do "/load otr"  (irssi syntax), write  "?OTR?" to your  OTR buddy,
-wait until the now ongoing key  generation finishes and write "?OTR?" again. You
-should "go secure".
-
-Key generation happens in a separate  process and its duration mainly depends on
-the available entropy. On  my desktop it takes about 6  Minutes, about 2 Minutes
-if I run  "du /" in parallel  and on an idle  server system it can  even take an
-hour.
-
-The  default  OTR  policy  of  irc-otr  is  now  something  between  manual  and
-opportunistic. Manual  means you have to  start it yourself by  issuing "?OTR?",
-opportunistic means  both peers send  some magic  whitespace and start  OTR once
-they receive this whitespace from the other side. irc-otr uses a mode in between
-where we are not sending whitespace as an announcement (as in opportunistic) but
-we still  handle whitespace if  we see  it from the  other side (I'm  calling it
-handlews). Therefore if your peer  uses opportunistic the handshake should still
-start automatically once he writes something.
-
-You can  now set the  OTR policy  per peer via  the otr_policy /setting.  It's a
-comma separated  list of "<nick>@<server> <policy>"  pairs where <nick>@<server>
-is interpreted as a glob pattern, i.e. you can use wildcard "*" and joker "?" as
-you would  in a shell.  The policy  can be one  of never, manual,  handlews (the
-default),  opportunistic, and  always. Be  aware that  the opportunistic  policy
-fails with  some IRC  servers since  they strip off  the whitespace.  The always
-policy has  the nice side effect  that the first  line you type will  already be
-encrypted.
-
-If  a  fingerprint can  be  found  for someone,  i.e.  someone  you had  an  OTR
-conversation  with  before,  then  the otr_policy_known  setting  applies  after
-otr_policy. It has the same syntax. The  default is "* always", i.e. enforce OTR
-with anyone you've used OTR with before.
-
-Should you finish an OTR session via  "/otr finish" and should the active policy
-be always  or opportunistic then  it will be  temporarily set back  to handlews.
-Otherwise OTR would start again right away  which is probably not what you want.
-This is however reset once you close the query window.
-
-To make  sure that you are  actually talking to your  buddy, you can agree  on a
-secret somehow  and then one does  "/otr auth <secret>". Shortly  afterwards the
-other  one will  be  asked to  do  the  same and  you're  done. The  traditional
-alternative, comparing  fingerprints over a secure  line, can also be  used. Use
-"/otr trust" once you're sure they match.
-
-I also  strongly recommend to do  "/statusbar window add otr"  (irssi syntax) so
-you're informed about what's going on.
-
-In "<client config dir>/otr/otr.{key,fp}" you'll  find the fingerprints and your
-private keys(should you at any point be interested).
-
-Commands:
-
-/otr genkey nick at irc.server.com 
-	Manually generate a key for the given account(also done on demand)
-/otr auth [<nick>@<server>] <secret>
-	Initiate or respond to an authentication challenge
-/otr authabort [<nick>@<server>] 
-	Abort any ongoing authentication
-/otr trust [<nick>@<server>]
-	Trust the fingerprint of the user in the current window.
-	You should only do this after comparing fingerprints over a secure line
-/otr debug
-	Switch debug mode on/off
-/otr contexts
-	List all OTR contexts along with their fingerprints and status
-/otr finish [<nick>@<server>]
-	Finish an OTR conversation
-/otr version
-	Display irc-otr version. Might be a git commit
-
-Settings:
-
-otr_policy
-	Comma-separated list of "<nick>@<server> <policy>" pairs. See comments
-	above.
-otr_policy_known
-	Same syntax as otr_policy. Only applied where a fingerprint is
-	available.
-otr_ignore
-	Conversations with nicks that match this regular expression completely
-	bypass libotr. It is very unlikely that you need to touch this setting,
-	just use the OTR policy never to prevent OTR sessions with some nicks.
-otr_finishonunload
-	If true running OTR sessions are finished on /unload and /quit.
-otr_createqueries
-	If true queries are automatically created for OTR log messages.
