-<h2><strong><b>2. Database upgrade</b></strong></h2>\r
-<p><strong><span style="">This step can be\r
-skipped\r
-for small version updates i.e. when you have already installed\r
-FrontAccounting version 2.3.1 or later. Before database upgrade is\r
-done on all company databases backup file is created automatically to\r
-enable database restore after failure.</span></strong></p>\r
-<p><strong><span style="">After major version\r
-upgrade overwriting files in first step makes the system unaccessible\r
-for all users but site admin, who have to run upgrade procedures to\r
-update all company databases to the new version provided with the\r
-release. After logging to administrator account of first installed\r
-company go directly to Setup/Software Upgrade screen, mark all\r
-subsequent 'Install' checkboxes and press 'Upgrade System'.</span></strong></p>\r
-<p style="">If something goes wrong during\r
-upgrade, you can eventually try forced upgrade option. Forced upgrade\r
-ignores some smaller errors which can arise during upgrade due to\r
-some exotic database configuration. This is depreciated option, so\r
-first read error messages if any, try to fix signalized problems,\r
-restore databases from backup and retry normal installation. To run\r
-upgrade in forced mode check box 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade\r
-System' again.</p>\r
-<h2>3. Final cleanup</h2>\r
-<p>Remove or rename install folder in main FrontAccounting\r
-directory.\r
-</p>\r
-<p>After upgrade is installed you can remove files obsoleted by\r
-new\r
-FrontAccounting version. Also old, unused settings <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">can\r
-be removed from </span></span><i><b>config.php</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">\r

-<h2>4. New features configuration</h2>\r
-<p>During upgrade process new features are initialized to default\r
-status, and sometimes old settings are also changed to conform with\r
-new security policy. This automatic process is designed to be as\r
-neutral for end users as possible, however sometimes site or company\r
-admin intervention can be necessary to set thing after changes to\r
-their best state. Below you will find description of new settings\r
-available after upgrade.</p>\r

+<h2><strong><b>2. Database upgrade</b></strong></h2>
+<p><strong><span style="">This step can be
+skipped
+for small version updates i.e. when you have already installed
+FrontAccounting version 2.3.1 or later. Before database upgrade is
+done on all company databases backup file is created automatically to
+enable database restore after failure.</span></strong></p>
+<p><strong><span style="">After major version
+upgrade overwriting files in first step makes the system unaccessible
+for all users but site admin, who have to run upgrade procedures to
+update all company databases to the new version provided with the
+release. After logging to administrator account of first installed
+company go directly to Setup/Software Upgrade screen, mark all
+subsequent 'Install' checkboxes and press 'Upgrade System'.</span></strong></p>
+<p style="">If something goes wrong during
+upgrade, you can eventually try forced upgrade option. Forced upgrade
+ignores some smaller errors which can arise during upgrade due to
+some exotic database configuration. This is depreciated option, so
+first read error messages if any, try to fix signalized problems,
+restore databases from backup and retry normal installation. To run
+upgrade in forced mode check box 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade
+System' again.</p>
+<h2>3. Final cleanup</h2>
+<p>Remove or rename install folder in main FrontAccounting
+directory.
+</p>
+<p>After upgrade is installed you can remove files obsoleted by
+new
+FrontAccounting version. Also old, unused settings <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">can
+be removed from </span></span><i><b>config.php</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">
+file.</span></span></p>

+<h2>4. New features configuration</h2>
+<p>During upgrade process new features are initialized to default
+status, and sometimes old settings are also changed to conform with
+new security policy. This automatic process is designed to be as
+neutral for end users as possible, however sometimes site or company
+admin intervention can be necessary to set thing after changes to
+their best state. Below you will find description of new settings
+available after upgrade.</p>
