-Documentation
--------------
-
-VyOS documentation is written in reStructuredText and generated to Read the Docs
-pages with Sphinx, as per the Python tradition, as well as PDF files for offline
-use through LaTeX.
-
-We welcome all sorts of contributions to the documentation. Not just
-new additions but also corrections to existing documentation.
-
-Guidelines
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-There are a few things to keep in mind when contributing to the
-documentation, for the sake of consistency and readability.
-
-Take a look at the :doc:`/documentation` page for an intricate explanation
-of the documentation process.
-
-The following is a quick summary of the rules:
-
-- Use American English at all times. It's always a good idea to run
- your text through a grammar and spell checker, such as `Grammarly`_.
-- Don't forget to update ``index.rst`` when adding a new node.
-- Try not to exceed 80 characters per line, but don't break URLs over this.
-- Properly quote commands, filenames and brief code snippets with double backticks.
-- Use literal blocks for longer snippets.
-- Leave a newline before and after a header.
-- Indent with two spaces.
-- When in doubt, follow the style of existing documentation.
-
-And finally, remember that the reStructuredText files aren't
-exclusively for generating HTML and PDF. They should be human-readable
-and easily perused from a console.
