It really just refers people to the "Getting Started" section (which is 
aimed at people new to parsing) on the GOLD Parser Builder website:
http://www.devincook.com/goldparser/getting-started/index.htm

It's very well-written, IMO. Not pedantic at all, but still accurate and 
to-the-point. A lot of it is tailored specifically to GOLD Parser Builder, 
but that's actually good because Goldie is based on and compatible with GOLD 
Parser Builder (in fact, Goldie used to rely on GOLD up until the more 
recent versions of Goldie's trunk). It was a big help to me when I was first 
learning how to use GOLD and how to write a GOLD-compatible parsing engine. 
Should be helpful to others, too.

I figured a "Never used a parsing tool?" in the nav panel was the best way 
to direct other new people there. Especially since there's a lot in the nav 
panel and I was looking for ways to reduce "Goldie-newbie intimidation". The 
old Goldie v0.3 docs tended to assume a certain level of familiarity with 
GOLD. I wasn't comfortable with that fact and feel it's inappropriate for 
Goldie's docs make such an assumption. Even moreso since Goldie v0.4 no 
longer requires GOLD.
