basically you need to follow the embedded documentation link on the home
page to get some information about this

http://www.fossil-scm.org/doc/tip/www/embeddeddoc.wiki

Also if you look at

http://www.fossil-scm.org/doc/tip/www/branching.wiki

you will see that it contains pictures. They are GIFs in the same
directory and are linked with a relative link such as

<img src="branch01.gif" width=280 height=68>

The fossil code that handles this is in src/doc.c if you are interested
and can read C (or even if you can't)
