The purpose of this discussion is to define the preferred structure, basic content, and guidelines for documenting PyroCMS and it's addons.

• Navigation Outline

  • Primary Topic
    • Secondary Topic

Examples

Getting Started > Installation

Modules > Files Module (Core) > Uploading

Modules > API Module (PRO) > Issuing Tokens

Field Types > Relationship Field Type (Core) > Querying Relations

Structural Guidelines

• H1 reserved for titles
• h2 reserved for major sections
• h3 reserved for section topics

Addon Structure

All addons should include applicable overview, configuration, API, templating, and extensions sections.

Examples:

• h1: Installation
• h2: CLI Installation
