+<section><title>Enabling Compression</title>
+
+ <p>Compression is implemented by the <code>DEFLATE</code>
+ <a href="../filter.html">filter</a>. The following directive
+ will enable compression for documents in the container where it
+ is placed:</p>
+ <p><strong>Most popular browsers can not handle compression of all content
+ so you may want to enable the 'gzip-only-text/html' note (see below)
+ </strong></p>
+
+<example>SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1<br />
+SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
+</example>
+
+ <p>Here is an example of enabling compression for the Apache
+ documentation:</p>
+
+<example>
+<Directory "/your-server-root/manual"><br />
+ SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1<br />
+ SetOutputFilter DEFLATE<br />
+</Directory>
+</example>
