+Here's how to convert your existing standard format ikiwiki setup file into
+the new YAML format recently added to ikiwiki.
+
+1. First, make sure you have the [[!cpan YAML]] perl module installed.
+ (Run: `apt-get install libyaml-perl`)
+2. Run: `ikiwiki --setup my.setup --dumpsetup my.setup --set setuptype=Yaml`
+
+The format of the YAML setup file should be fairly self-explanatory.
+
+(To convert the other way, use "setuptype=Standard" instead.)
