+Welcome to the sell, reprocess or keep tool. :)
+<p />
+Here's a <a href="http://rammsrdi.com/img/reproctool.png">screenshot</a>
+on how it looks in game.
+<p />
+Mineral prices below are empire averages from <a
+href="http://www.eve-central.com/">Eve-central</a>. Usually you dont need to
+update those yourself, unless the Eve central is down, or you live in
+special area's and are not welcome in empire space anymore.
+<p />
+How does this work? Well, you need to copy paste an item list (text) in the
+input box below. Then press submit. Getting this item list from our
+inventory is simple, albeit unusual. Follow these steps:
+<ol>
+    <li>Put all the items in a container in your station</li>
+    <li>Richt click to container and select 'Create contract'.</li>
+    <li>Click 'Next' and then again 'Next'.</li>
+    <li>A popup will appear which will list the items in the container!
+    Richt click the text area of the popup, and select 'Copy'.</li>
+    <li>Cancel the contract creation! (We only needed the item list, there
+    is no contract needed.</li>
+    <li>Paste the text you just copied in the text box below, and click
+    'Submit'.</li>
+    <li>The page will take some seconds to load, be patient. If the server
+    gives you an error, you just copy pasted too many items. Try again with
+    half the list.</li>
+</ol>
+<p />
+Tip: Set the number of columns to match your inventory columns for easy comparison.

+Welcome to the sell, reprocess or keep tool. :)
+<p />
+Here is how it works, the colour coding:
+<ul>
+    <li>Items in <font color='#666600'>dark yellow</font> are meta 0.</li>
+    <li>Items in grey to white are meta 1, 2 or 3.</li>
+    <li>Items in <font color='#4444FF'>blue</font> are meta 4.</li>
+    <li>Items in <font color='#FF0000'>red</font> are T2 (meta 5).</li>
+    <li>items in <font color='#00FF00'>green</font> are above meta 5.</li>
+</ul>
+<p />
+The number below the item represents the itemvalue if you would reprocess
+and sell the minerals on the market. Basicly, if you have the option of
+selling that item for a price below that number, its better to keep the item
+and reprocess it.
+<p />
+As you might see, the items are listed just like your inventory in Eve. The
+sorting is the same as when you sort by type. If you have this browser
+window next to your inventory window, matching the colums(!), it is very
+easy to pick out those valuable items.
+<p />
+Tip: Because this can be a huge page to load in eve, resising might freeze the
+game a bit.<br />
+Also, clickin on the item gives you the general information of that item. It
+is not the same as clicking 'Show info' on the real item. (For example: the
+real item might be damanged.)<br />
