2. Follow directions in the tutorial directory README for formatting and handling of embedded non-SVG images
3. Create a subdirectory in the doc-docbook module and place the new tutorial docbook file there
4. Test tutorial generation using the `make-html`, `make-svg`, and `make-all` scripts
5. Announce the availability of the new tutorial
